Background: Iridoschisis is a rare ophthalmological disorder that presents with the separation of the anterior fibers of the iris from the posterior ones at the level of the stromal layer. Fibers resulting from the disintegration of the anterior iris layers can be encountered in the anterior chamber of the affected eyes. This condition mostly affects females and has been associated with both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma.

Background: Iridoschisis is a rare condition that primarily affects individuals aged 60-70 years. The predominant characteristics of iridoschisis involve the tissue splitting and separation of the iris stromal layers, often resulting in two distinct layers and the presence of floating fibers in the anterior chamber. This article reports the case of a 48-year-old male with iridoschisis with partial lens dislocation in both eyes.

Iridoschisis is a rare condition defined as a separation of the anterior iris stroma from the posterior stroma and muscle layers. In this paper, we review current data about the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical characteristics and differential diagnoses of this condition and discuss the specificity of surgical treatment of concomitant ocular diseases in iridoschisis patients. Iridoschisis may pose a challenge for both an ophthalmologist in an outpatient setting and an ophthalmic surgeon.
