Traumatic aniridia through opposite clear corneal incision in a pseudophakic eye.

[aniridia]

A 56 -year -old man complaining of decreased visual acuity in his left eye visited the emergency room 1 hour after blunt trauma . Slitlamp examination showed no visible iris tissue . The corneal wound at 5 o'clock was sharp , and Seidel was negative . In the right eye , there was a main clear corneal incision (CCI ) at 11 o'clock and an opposite CCI (OCCI ) to correct corneal astigmatism at 5 o'clock in the left eye . Anterior chamber inflammation and hyphema resolved 4 weeks after the trauma . The intraocular lens and capsular bag were intact , and the corrected distance visual acuity returned to 20 /25 . To our knowledge , this is the first report of traumatic iris expulsion through a 3 .0 mm OCCI . An OCCI may seal better than a main CCI , which is used in cataract surgery , because the OCCI is not used during the cataract procedure . However , surgeons should be aware of the risk for postoperative wound dehiscence associated with the OCCI .
