ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Iridoschisis is a rare condition that primarily affects individuals aged 60-70 years. The predominant characteristics of iridoschisis involve the tissue splitting and separation of the iris stromal layers, often resulting in two distinct layers and the presence of floating fibers in the anterior chamber. This article reports the case of a 48-year-old male with iridoschisis with partial lens dislocation in both eyes. CASE PRESENTATION Trauma is the leading factor in the development of iridoschisis. However, there is no documented case of ocular trauma in the patient's medical history. Visible white atrophic fibers were observed bilaterally in the anterior iris stroma of both eyes of the individual, accompanied by a small quantity of iris tissue within the anterior chamber. In this instance, the magnitude of the iridoschisis corresponded with the degree of lens dislocation. We were apprised that the patient had regularly used a cervical massager for a prolonged period of time, positioning it upon the ocular region. Frequent stimulation of both eyes with excessive force resulted in the development of iridoschisis and the partial dislocation of the lens.During the initial surgical procedure, phacoemulsification (Phaco) was carried out on the left eye without the placement of an intraocular lens (IOL). Following a two-month interval, we proceeded with the IOL suspension. Subsequently, the right eye underwent Phaco, accompanied by the implantation of an IOL. After closely monitoring the patient's progress for two months, it was evident that their vision had significantly improved, substantiating the success of the surgical interventions.

CONCLUSIONS:

This finding posits that the recurrent friction applied to both eyes may induce iridoschisis and various ocular complications. In the event of ocular intricacies manifesting, expeditious medical intervention becomes imperative.
