title: Iridocorneal adhesions in posterior polymorphous dystrophy.
abstract: The variability of clinical expression in posterior polymorphous dystrophy is illustrated with emphasis on the occurrence of iridocorneal adhesions. These are believed to be synechiae and not Rieger's anomaly. The occurrence of glass-membrane-like material extending onto the iris from the cornea, causing synechiae and pupillary ectropion, is documented.
