“…A variante clínica atrofia progressiva (essencial) da íris, é caracterizada pelo afinamento e atrofia do estroma iriano, resultando em defeitos em toda a sua espessura. A formação precoce de sinéquias anteriores periféricas pode levar a distorções pupilares (corectopia) e ao fechamento angular, ocasionando um aumento da pressão intraocular (PIO) por um bloqueio pré trabecular 1,3 . Por fim, o progressivo aumento da tensão no estroma iriano resulta em mais atrofia da íris e na formação de "buracos" de espessura total, característicos da doença 2 .…”
