Long-term outcomes of “open iridectomy” for secondary anterior chamber epithelial iris cysts

Abstract Epithelial cysts run a high risk of recurrence and conversion to sheet-like ingrowth after surgical intervention. In this retrospective study, we introduced a modified iridectomy for treatment of secondary epithelial iris cysts (EICs) in the anterior chamber. Twenty-nine patients (29 eyes)...
