Diagnosis: vitiligo of the iris

Image Comments:

There are two types of vitiligo of the iris, viz. primary and secondary. Since there was no history of iritis or other diseases of this eye, the diagnosis must be primary vitiligo of the iris. In the second photo the patient has vitiligo of the skin of the lids. This suggests that the vitiligo iridis may be associated with the dermal vitiligo.
