Varied clinical course in plateau iris syndrome: a case series.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

To present a selected case series of plateau iris syndrome (PIS) that attempts to highlight the varied outcomes.

METHODS:

Retrospective review of three selected cases of plateau iris.

RESULTS:

Case 1 with 23 years follow-up highlights the benign nature of the disease with no disc and field changes. Case 2 represents the progressive form of the disease. Case 3 demonstrates the better efficacy of pilocarpine in comparison to other anti-glaucoma medications in the treatment of plateau iris.

CONCLUSION:

The understanding of the varied clinical course of plateau iris syndrome, as demonstrated by the above cases, might aid in therapeutic decision making.
