Iridoschisis is a very rare condition occurining in either sex, usually bilaterally. Glaucoma occurs in approximately 50% of the cases, and other ocular defects may be present in iridoschisis. It is considered as a degenerative process related to senescene. We experienced two cases of typical iridoschisis and report the cases with a review of the literature because iridoschisis is not reported yet in our country.

We observed the change of intraocular pressure(IOP)and the complications after contact transscleral cyclophotocoagulation with Neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG)laser for the refractory glaucoma patients. Refractory glaucoma in twenty eyes was treated with contact transscleral continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser cyclophotocoagulation with a sapphire-tipped probe. Using 7W of power for 0.7 seconds with 32 applications and intraocular pressure(IOP) was measured at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months and 6 months, postoperatively. The intraocular pressure(IOP)decreasing rate was 62% and the success rate was 60%at 6 months postoperatively. It is suggested that contact transscleral cyclophotocoagulation with Nd:YAG laser is useful in lowering IOP in refractory glaucoma patients.

The authors experienced a case of secondary glaucoma combined with mesodermal dysgenesis of anterior segment, which disclosed extensive peripheral iridocorneal adhesion of congenital origin while his fellow eye revealed a sclerocornea. This case is extremely rare and entirely different from the previously reported Axenfeld's and Rieger's anomalies. We report this interesting case with brief review of the literatures.
