Abstract

Progressive iris atrophy is a disease characterized by marked iris atrophy, iris hole, corneal endotherial abnormality, perripheral anterior synechia, and glaucoma. It is considered as a variant of iridocorneal endotherial syndrome with Chandler's syndrome and Cogan-Reese syndrome. We have experianced a 34 year old male patient complaning visual blurring in his left eye. At examination, we found characteristics of progressive iris atrophy. After filerring surgery, associated glaucoma was well controlled. Then we report a case with review of the literatures.
