Diagnosis: iridencleisis with peripheral iridectomy - a modified iridotasis operation for open- angle glaucoma

Image Comments:

The iridotasis operation is one in which the uncut iris is stretched and incarcerated in the limbal incision. In this case the flap of a peripheral iridotomy was pulled up into the limbal incision and incarcerated there.
