Abstract

An interesting case of a pigmented cyst floating freely in the anterior chamber. A 40-year-old male patient presented with symptoms of a dark spot moving across his vision which was triggered by head movement. The patient had a history of ocular trauma many years previously. Gonioscopic examination revealed a pigmented cyst in the inferior angle. We discuss the causes of free floating iris cysts and the management options available. This cyst had no effect on his visual acuity, and he will be followed up yearly unless symptoms arise.
