Semin Ophthalmol. 2013 Jan;28(1):28-31. doi: 10.3109/08820538.2012.730099.

Abstract

Purpose: To present a selected case series of plateau iris syndrome (PIS) that attempts to highlight the varied outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective review of three selected cases of plateau iris.

Results: Case 1 with 23 years follow-up highlights the benign nature of the disease with no disc and field changes. Case 2 represents the progressive form of the disease. Case 3 demonstrates the better efficacy of pilocarpine in comparison to other anti-glaucoma medications in the treatment of plateau iris.

Conclusion: The understanding of the varied clinical course of plateau iris syndrome, as demonstrated by the above cases, might aid in therapeutic decision making.
