The Gray Iris Syndrome

Secondary glaucoma: Toward interventions based on molecular underpinnings

“…Trauma to the iris during intraocular lens implant also increases the risk of developing PDS/PDG. The implanted intraocular lens may chafe against the posterior iris pigment epithelium (IPE), prompting pigment dispersion (Hong et al, 2013; Huber, 1984; Samples & Van Buskirk, 1985). Another case report suggested a possible association between the antibiotic fluoroquinolone used to treat pneumonia and the development of acute pigmentary dispersion and iridocyclitis.…”
