Purpose: The purpose of the study was to report a small case series of patients with iridoschisis seen at our hospital over a period of 5 years.
Methods: Retrospective review of all those files over the past 5 years whereby the diagnosis of iridoschisis/iris atrophy/iris fibrils in anterior chamber (AC) was made.
Results: In our case series, the average age at presentation was 49 years (range: 23-85 years). The pathology was bilateral in 57% of patients in our series. Our most common presentations were angle closure glaucoma and cataract. Younger individuals can also manifest iridoschisis.
Conclusion: The iridoschisis can be an incidental finding, and gonioscopy should be performed in all the cases, as occludable or synechiael angle closure may be present in these cases.
