Sumario:PURPOSE: We describe an unusual clinical finding of a free-floating iris cyst in a patient with recurrent iritis. METHOD: The clinical finding of a free-floating iris cyst was recorded using slit-lamp photography. RESULTS: A 39-year-old male with a 5-year history of recurrent right iritis was found to have a small mobile iris cyst within his right anterior chamber, first identified 3 years ago. The patient did not experience any discomfort or visual symptoms resulting from the cyst. CONCLUSION: Surgical removal is not indicated for asymptomatic non-progressive free-floating iris cysts. The significance of a free-floating iris cyst in the setting of recurrent iritis remains unknown.
