Abstract
- Iridoschisis is a very rare condition occurining in either sex, usually bilaterally. Glaucoma occurs in approximately 50% of the cases, and other ocular defects may be present in iridoschisis. It is considered as a degenerative process related to senescene. We experienced two cases of typical iridoschisis and report the cases with a review of the literature because iridoschisis is not reported yet in our country.
