Mystery of the vanishing iris

James Ball et al. J Cataract Refract Surg. 2002 Jan.

Abstract

We present the first reported case of traumatic aniridia as an isolated injury after blunt trauma to an eye that had phacoemulsification through a corneal tunnel. This case provides insight into the properties of the self-sealing corneal tunnel and possible advantages that it may confer on the eye.
