Photo: Iris Prolapse

Last updated December 29, 2007

This photo shows a scleral cataract wound from a complicated cataract surgery. You can see a small x-suture, with an area of pigment to the right of it. This is a bit of iris that is traped in the wound, and wicking fluid from the anterior chamber.

To get a better view of this, and watch the seidel test of the iris prolapse, check out the iris prolapse video.
