Summary

An 11-year-old girl was brought with the chief complaint of progressive diminution of vision in her right eye for the past 3 months. There was no history of ocular trauma or any ocular surgery. Systemic and family history was insignificant. Visual acuity was 20/20 in her left eye and counting finger close to face with projection of rays being accurate in her right eye. Slit lamp examination of her right eye showed large cystic lesion filling almost entire anterior chamber. With the help of various imaging modalities like anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy diagnosis of iris stromal cyst was confirmed. Right eye surgical removal of the iris stromal cyst was done under real-time imaging of intraoperative OCT (iOCT). Best-corrected visual acuity at 6 months follow-up was 20/20 without any recurrence. iOCT-guided approach for complete removal of the iris cyst seems more promising.
