    Author: Oner HF, Kaynak S, Koçak N, Cingil G.
    Journal: Eur J Ophthalmol; 2003 Mar; 13(2):212-4. PubMed ID: 12696643.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To present a case with free iris cysts in the anterior chamber and its management with YAG laser. CASE REPORT: A 14-year-old boy presenting with the complaint of seeing a small ball-like moving mass in his left eye. RESULTS: Slit-lamp examination revealed a pair of free-floating iris cysts located inferiorly in the anterior chamber. After YAG laser application both the cysts collapsed. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of a case with multiple free iris cysts in the anterior chamber. Considering the possibility of endothelial damage in the long-term, it is worth noting the favorable response to YAG laser treatment.
