Most physical signs of the iris
are easy to spot provided you remember to look for them. In the examination,
these
signs may be the associated features of the primary condition (such as peripupillary iris transillumination in pseudoexfoliation syndrome or iris atrophy and abnormal iris vessels in Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis) or form the main condition (such as aniridia or iris naevus/melanoma). Signs in the iris can be grouped into:
|
iris transillumination |
iris coloboma |
pigmented iris lesion |
||
aniridia |
heterochromic iridis |
albinism |
