48.1General Considerations
48.1.1 The Important Functions of the Iris1
•Regulating the amount of light reaching the retina.
–Persons with a permanently wide pupil (and good retinal function) complain of photophobia, which may be prohibitively bothersome.
•Separating the anterior and posterior compartments of the eye.
–This used to be important to prevent VEGF-like factors from entering the AC and making new vessels grow anteriorly; now the main purpose is to prevent silicone oil touch.
•The iris is increasingly used as a secure platform to carry an IOL (see Sect. 38.6).
•Last but not least, the iris is important cosmetically.
–Cosmesis is an often-neglected issue, although for many people it has great significance.
The VR surgeon is frequently the one who needs to restore the iris diaphragm, irrespective of whether the tissue has been traumatized by an injury or a therapeutic intervention.2 Three conditions are discussed in detail in this chapter.
48.1.2 Timing of Iris Reconstruction
Too early constriction of the pupil, or making it too narrow, may interfere with subsequent examination of, or surgery on, the posterior segment. With one exception, the general rule is that surgery on the iris should be delayed until the retinal condition is assumed to be “final.” The exception concerns the trauma-related “disappearance” of the iris (see Fig. 48.1).
1The shape, size, location, and mobility of the pupil are inseparable from the condition of the iris.
2Too intensive laser in the horizontal meridian (see Sect. 30.3.3) or damage during phaco.

Fig. 48.1 The “bimodal” timing of iris reconstruction. (a) In a traumatized eye with a “disappeared” iris, the intervention should be very early to break the fibrinous membrane that retracts the tissue, using a forceps to pull the iris toward the center. (b) In all other cases of a too wide pupil, it is best to suture the dilated iris only after the condition of the posterior segment is reasonably deemed “final”; this may be weeks or months, possibly even years away. (c) An example of the “disappearing iris” after trauma; the eye underwent silicone oil explantation due to PVR years before. (d) Very early intervention (the iris was gently pulled with forceps) during the original surgery resulted in a cosmetically and functionally acceptable outcome. The iris was finally sutured after oil removal
