Category: Cornea
Diagnosis: nasal pterygium, partial arcus senilis, and iridoschisis superiorly

Image Comments:

The iridoschisis is seen at 11:00 o'clock as a veil flapping in the anterior chamber and at 1:00 o'clock as a shredded wheat effect. Slit-lamp and gonioscopy give a much better view of this pathology. The eye should be followed for glaucoma.
