CASE REPORT: We report a case of postoperative large iris cyst secondary to trabeculectomy treated with Nd:YAG laser iridocystotomy. The patient was subsequently free of discomfort or significant inflammation. COMMENTS: This case suggests that large iris cysts may produce corneal decompensation. Laser treatment can collapse the iris cyst without other ocular tissue damage.
