title: Total iris expulsion through a sutureless cataract incision due to vomiting.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case of isolated total iris expulsion through a self-sealing cataract incision 2 weeks postoperatively due to vomiting.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ophthalmological examination included visual acuity assessment, tonometry, slit-lamp examination, fundus ophthalmoscopy and ultrasound examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 65-year-old woman experienced sudden visual loss during an episode of vigorous vomiting 2 weeks after uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery with a sutureless corneal incision. Clinical examination showed a dense anterior chamber haemorrhage. When the blood had cleared, isolated total aniridia was seen.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first reported case of aniridia after cataract surgery due to vomiting.
