Abstract

PURPOSE
We report a rare case of isolated traumatic aniridia in a pseudophakic eye. CASE SUMMARY: A 69-year-old female came to our emergency department complaining of right eye pain and visual disturbance after trauma due to fall on the stairs. Five years earlier she had undergone an uncomplicated right sutureless phacoemulsification cataract extraction through a 2.2 mm temporal clear corneal incision, followed by insertion of a folding intracapsular intraocular lens. Total iris expulsion occurred through the cataract incision without extension of the wound or disruption of the posterior capsule or intraocular lens. CONCLUSIONS: We report a rare case of isolated traumatic aniridia in a pseudophakic eye, which has not been reported in the Republic of Korea.
