Plateau iris in Asian subjects with primary angle closure glaucoma.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of plateau iris in Asian eyes with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). METHODS: In this cross-sectional observational study, subjects older than 40 years with PACG who ... Read more...

A patient with bilateral persistent pupillary membrane: a conservative approach.

20 Sep 2009 The author describes the case of a girl with bilateral persistent pupillary membranes and good visual acuity. An otherwise healthy 10-year-old girl presented with persistent pupillary membranes in both eyes since childhood. The patient had ametropic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Iris'

Definition: The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.

Descriptor UI: D007498

Alternative terms: Iris;
