[aniridia]

This is a single case report of an elderly patient who had blunt trauma in an eye that had phacoemulsification and two trabeculectomies . She had good vision with a well-functioning bleb before the trauma . She presented during her routine follow-up visit for glaucoma with isolated aniridia and an intact globe . The capsular bag , zonules , and the intraocular lens were intact . The cupping was 0 .8 , and the rest of the fundus and macula were normal . Pigments were seen over the sclera extending posteriorly upto the fornix . Gonioscopy revealed only faint pigments at the fistula . Following the trauma , the intraocular pressure had increased to 26 mm Hg . The mechanism and the management of the glaucoma are discussed .
