Asymmetric pigment dispersion syndrome.
The hypothesis proposed by Campbell goes a long way to clarify the loss of pigment from the posterior iris pigment epithelium in PDS. However, the present series of cases of either asymmetric PDS (cases 1 to 3) or early developing PDS (cases 5 to 7) suggest that other factors appear to play a role in addition to mechanical rubbing. These other factors await further identification.
