[Iridoschisis--case report].
The authors present an account of a 78-year-old female patient with bilateral iridoschisis. The disease was present in the lower portions of the iris. The pupil was centred, mobile. Part of the ruptured fibres of the iris floated freely in the anterior chamber. The cornea was not decompensated. The patient had open angle glaucoma and cataract. The method of choice in the treatment of the condition is laser iridotomy or microsurgical iridectomy and extraction of the cataract with implantation of PC IOL. Conservative treatment attempts to prevent possible damage of the optic nerve.
