  • Title: Photocoagulation of iris nevus to control recurrent hyphema.
    Author: Todd KC, Hainsworth DP.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1999 Aug; 128(2):244-6. PubMed ID: 10458189.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a case of recurrent hyphema caused by an iris nevus that was successfully treated with photocoagulation. METHOD: Case report. In a 30-year-old woman with recurrent hyphema secondary to an iris nevus, photocoagulation was applied to the iris nevus. RESULTS: Before photocoagulation of the iris nevus, the patient had increasing frequency of hyphema episodes. After treatment, no hyphema episodes occurred during 13 months of observation. CONCLUSION: Photocoagulation of the surface of an iris nevus may prevent recurrent hyphema.
