Abstract
Purpose: Management of a case of glaucoma secondary to an iris metastasis is reported. Results: A 31-year-old woman developed glaucoma secondary to a metastatic tumor to the iris. Anti-glaucoma medication failed to control the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). However, diode laser cyclophotocoagulation controlled the IOP. Conclusion: Glaucoma secondary to an iris metastasis is difficult to manage. Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation is effective in controlling the increase in IOP without affecting visual acuity.
