title: [Contusion-induced traumatic aniridia].
abstract: Total aniridia occurred after a severe blow on the eyeball of a 65 year old man. The entire iris was torn off the ciliary body and escaped out of the eye through a small corneal wound. The zonular fibres were found to be intact and the posterior parts of the eye showed no traumatic changes.
