Iris reconstructive surgery is among the most difficult operations performed by the anterior segment surgeon, especially in cases after ocular trauma. Patients in need of such reconstructive efforts, either in cases of congenital, traumatic or other causes of iris loss, often are significantly debilitated by glare and other visual disturbances resulting from a compromised iris diaphragm. My guests in this column, Robert H. Osher, MD, Michael E. Snyder, MD Christopher Khng, MD, and Scott E. Burk, MD, PhD, of the Cincinnati Eye Institute, explain how to deal with iris dysfunction or loss.
