COSMETIC IRIS IMPLANTS CAN BLIND!!

Case report suggests cosmetic iris implant can cause severe permanent vision loss
This case describes a 25-year-old woman who developed persistent bilateral blurry vision after simultaneous bilateral cosmetic iris implantation. BCVA was hand motion in one eye; 20/400 in the other, and IOP was very high despite maximal medical therapy. She had central retinal vein occlusion and end-stage glaucomatous optic neuropathy and was diagnosed with neovascular glaucoma. Despite aggressive treatment, she suffered severe permanent bilateral vision loss. American Journal of Ophthalmology, May 2011
