Abstract

Iridoschisis is a rare degenerative pathology in which the anterior iris stroma spontaneously cleaves from the posterior layer, The anterior leaflet then dissociates into fibrils floating in the aqueous humor.
We report the case of a 66-year-old patient consulted for a bilateral decrease in visual acuity.
All other causes of iris atrophy have been eliminated (trauma, herpes).
The diagnosis of this entity is important since its frequent association with glaucoma imposes its detection and long-term monitoring.
