A case of aniridia associated with a membranous cataract and glaucoma in a 52-year-old woman was reported. Bilateral ocular findings included marked hypoplasia of the iris, goniodysgenesis, corneal opacification with superficial vascularization, macular hypoplasia and glaucoma. A membranous cataract was found in the right eye. The intraocular pressure was abnormally high. Since trabeculectomy on the right eye was ineffective, a seton procedure was carried out. During the follow-up period, the membranous cataract in the right eye spontaneously moved from its original position and floated in the vitreous, maintaining its shape.
