PURPOSE
To present a case with free iris cysts in the anterior chamber and its management with YAG laser.
CASE REPORT
A 14-year-old boy presenting with the complaint of seeing a small ball-like moving mass in his left eye.
RESULTS
Slit-lamp examination revealed a pair of free-floating iris cysts located inferiorly in the anterior chamber. After YAG laser application both the cysts collapsed.
CONCLUSIONS
This is the first report of a case with multiple free iris cysts in the anterior chamber. Considering the possibility of endothelial damage in the long-term, it is worth noting the favorable response to YAG laser treatment.
