A 60-year-old female presented with painful diminution of vision with nausea for past 2 days. On evaluation, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/9 in the right eye (RE) and finger counting at 2 m in the left eye (LE). IOP as measured by Goldmann Applanation Tonometry was 11 and 48 mmHg in RE and LE, respectively. Microcystic corneal edema with shallow AC was seen in LE. Multiple thin disintegrated iris fibrils were seen floating in the AC from 5 to 7 o'clock in RE and from 4 to 8 o'clock in LE [Figure and ]. Gonioscopy showed 180° and 360° peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) in RE and LE [], respectively. Laser peripheral iridotomy (PI) was done in both eyes. Lens showed early nuclear sclerosis with a cup-disc ratio of 0.5:1 in RE and 0.6:1 with inferior rim thinning in LE. Corresponding superior arcuate defect was seen on visual fields in LE. She was diagnosed as a case of bilateral iridoschisis presenting as unilateral acute angle closure attack. A combination of two antiglaucoma medications (AGMs) was started in both eyes. On her 6-month evaluation, the patient had an IOP of 12 and 14 mmHg in RE and LE, respectively.
An 85-year-old male presented with unilateral inferior iridoschisis with cataract and underwent phacoemulsification with PCIOL- Posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. He had an IOP of 14 mm in both eyes with open angles on gonioscopy and a disc with a cup-disc ratio of 0.4:1 in both eyes. The contralateral eye was pseudophakic.
