Diagnosis: traumatic iridodialysis with concussion cataract

Image Comments:

This young man's eye was struck by the handle (butt) of a B-B gun. This led to an iridodialysis superiorly and a concussion-type anterior subcapsular cataract - non-progressive in nature. With the slit-lamp the zonule of Zinn was easily seen at the site of the iridodialysis.
