RIVERA JIMENEZ, Gisselle et al. Refractive lensectomy for iris coloboma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2019, vol.32, n.4  Epub Feb 15, 2020. ISSN 1561-3070.

The iris coloboma is a congenital defect, present since birth, which is described as a hole, fissure or cleft in the mentioned structure. This condition has the possibility of being inherited or can appear without previous family history. The case is presented of a 51-year-old patient with bilateral asymmetric iris coloboma and farsightedness. The patient went to the doctor's office with the desire to become independent of his usual optical correction. Facorrefractive surgery of both eyes with pupilloplasty of the right eye was proposed, in which satisfactory visual results were obtained after the intervention.

Keywords : Hypermetropia; iris coloboma; facorrefractive surgery or refractive lensectomy; pupilloplasty.
