Spontaneous improvement in visual acuity in age-related geographic atrophy of the macula.

have the risk of uveitis, hemorrhage, and iris atrophy, with varying rates of cataract and endothelial damage.2,5 There were no instances of any of these complications in our case series. This case series supports the limited number of published reports on themanagementof secondary iris cystswith viscoelastic-assistedendophotocoagulation.2,5Webelieve the adjuvant use of ophthalmic viscoelastic enables safe separation of the cyst from surrounding structures and aids controlled, external surgical drainage of the contents. This manipulation improves compression of thewalls of the cyst and minimizes the potential internal cystic space between the iris tissues, optimizing the effectiveness of the endophotocoagulation. We document an excellent response to this treatment and can recommend this technique as a minimally invasive treatment option.
