Abstract

Varix of the iris as a solitary primary lesion is rare. We report a 31-year-old Indian man with an iris varix who developed recurrent haemorrhages into the anterior chamber which led to secondary glaucoma. An iridectomy was performed and the diagnosis was confirmed histologically. There has been no recurrence of the lesion 3 years after surgery.
