Iridoschisis: visual outcome in treated versus untreated eye

Abstract: A 67-year-old man was referred for iris color change. He was noted to have narrow angles with atrophic iris appearance and visually significant cataracts. The iris findings were consistent with iridoschisis. The patient was recommended to have cataract surgery. Unfortunately, he was lost to follow-up. One year later, he presented with chronic angle closure glaucoma on the right eye with very high pressure and very poor remaining vision. Left-eye vision was also compromised with cataract. Despite the presence of small pupil, abnormal iris stroma, and dense cataract, the patient underwent successful cataract surgery and achieved 20/20 vision post-operatively. Iridoschisis can cause substantial ocular morbidity if not treated timely
