Abstract:
Post-traumatic aniridia is an uncommon complication of blunt ocular trauma. When it is completed, it represents a 360-degree tear from the root of the iris to its insertion into the ciliary body. Since the introduction of the use of corneal micro-incisions in cataract surgery, some cases of complete tear of iris root have been observed in patients who suffered from violent trauma. We report the case of a patient who has a complete aniridia after a fall, 15 years after cataract surgery.
