“…2 Scheie and Fleischhauer noted an incomplete ring on the posterior surface of the lens in 14 eyes and a complete ring in 12 eyes. 1 Most eyes were examined by gonioscope, and it was observed that "the pigment fre- quently lodges in the angle between the face or anterior limiting membrane of the vitreous and the periphery of the posterior surface of the lens," that is, at Wieger's ligament. This pigment line now called "Scheie's line."…”

“…The pigmentary dispersion syndrome (PDS) is characterized by a loss of pigment from iris pigment epithelium, midperipheral iris transillumination and deposition of pigment on the lens, zonules, corneal endothelium and angle structures [1][2][3][4][5]. PDS is thought to result from the rubbing of the iris pigment epithelium on the anterior packets of zonules [6].…”

The effectiveness of dapiprazole in preventing exercise-induced IOP increase in patients with pigmentary dispersion syndrome

et al. 1996

The study supports the concept that exercise-induced pigment release temporarily obstructs the acqueous outflow channels, causing IOP increase in some patients with PDS. Pre-treatment with dapiprazole was useful in reducing IOP spikes and in increasing tonographic total outflow facility after exercise. The absence of induced myopia and the lack of dangerous vitreoretinal tractions on retinal periphery make dapiprazole a safe method to reduce exercise-induced pigment dispersion.

“…When the Krukenberg spindle is less dense, the endothelial pigment granules have the appearance of an extremely fi ne cinnamon powder and may be diffi cult to detect, particularly in patients who have passed the active liberation stage. Clinically, loss of iris pigment appears as a mid-peripheral, radial, slit-like pattern of transillumination defects seen most easily by retroillumination [ 18 ]. These defects are most often present inferonasally and are more apparent in lighter irides.…”
