Abstract:
Bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) syndrome is a rare condition of unknown etiology, characterized by acute onset of pigment dispersion in the anterior chamber, depigmentation of the iris, and heavy pigment deposition in the anterior chamber angle, with bilateral involvement in most cases. We present a case of a 46-year-old healthy woman, who developed BAIT in both eyes, following the use of topical moxifloxacin/dexamethasone for bilateral bacterial conjunctivitis, followed by a nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in the left eye.
