Abstract:
I experienced 2 cases of accessory iris membrane which had been known to be rare disease, and reviewed them in the literatures. Case 1 was 12 year old female and her visual acuity was 0.3(NC) in left eye and 0.5(NC) in right eye. Both eyes were accompanied with true polycoria and the removal of accessory iris membrane was performed because of poor visual acuity. Postoperatively, pupils became round and visual acuity was increased to 0.8 in both eyes. Case 2 was 14 year old female with pseudopolycoria, but operation was not performed due to relatively good visual acuity, i.e. right eye, 0.2(1.2 X Sph. -2.5D) and left eye, 0.1(1.2 X Sph. -3.0D).
