title: Iris cysts: a review.
abstract: Iris cysts though uncommon, present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. With the advent of better investigational modalities it is not so difficult to characterize iris cysts and differentiate them from uveal tumors. Management strategies however, are still not clearly defined and long term course especially of inclusion cysts of the iris remains dismal. In this review we present the classification, pathogenesis, differential diagnosis and management options along with long term clinical course of eyes with iris cysts.
