Double Iris, A case report

Ahmed Shakir Ali Al-Wassiti et al. Cont Lens Anterior Eye. 2025 Oct.

Abstract

The formation of the iris involves interactions between the neural ectoderm, neural crest-derived cells, and the mesoderm. This report describes the occurrence of double iris in a patient and describes the clinical profile for him. The study presents a case of 31-year-old male with a history of blurred vision in the left eye since childhood. His left eye (OS) was amblyopic with a VA of 6/60. There was hypermetropia in the left eye and intraocular pressure (IOP) was within the normal range. Anterior chamber (AC) showed no signs of inflammation, and the vitreous was clear. The slit lamp examination revealed double iris bilaterally that was confirmed using an optical coherence tomography.

Keywords: Double Iris; Iris; Ocular anomaly.
