Isolated traumatic aniridia with full and partial iris expulsion in pseudophakic eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total aniridia after ocular trauma without disruption of the intraocular lens (IOL) has been reported in patients with a history of small-incisional cataract surgery. We report one case each of total and partial aniridia after accidental falls experienced by two elderly Japanese women.

Case presentations

Case 1. A 76-year-old woman with a history of small-incisional cataract surgery more than 10 years previously fell onto concrete and had a contusion that affected the left side of her face. At the initial visit, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was hand motions and the intraocular pressure (IOP) was 38 mmHg in her left eye (OS). A blood clot was present in the well-formed anterior chamber and expulsed iris tissue was seen beneath the conjunctiva. Explorator
