A 60-year-old female presented trauma with a stone to her right eye (RE) 2 weeks back, and her best-corrected visual acuity was hand movement, left eye (6/6). RE had a shallow anterior chamber with inferior iridoschisis and splitting of pigmented and non-pigmented iris epithelium layers. There was iridodialysis of anterior layers with posterior synechiae formation along with traumatic cataract [Fig. 1a]. The surgical procedure was performed to reposit the anterior layers back after synechiolysis, and the iridodialysis repair was done and subsequently pupilloplasty.[1,2] Schisis was settled by anatomical reapposition of anterior layers. Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implanted. Iridoschisis is the splitting of anterior and posterior iris layers at the iris stroma.[3] Postoperative there was a vision of 6/36 with good iris anatomical restoration [Fig. 1b]. The coexistence of schisis with dialysis of anterior layers has not been reported by far.Figure 1: (a) Traumatic iridodialysis of anterior iris layers with simultaneous splitting and cataract.
