Iris fluorescein angiography and Irvine Gass' syndrome.

Iris fluorescein angiography and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed three months to three years after cataract extraction in two series of aphakic eyes--32 eyes with vitreous adherence to the wound, and 32 with no vitreous adherence to the wound. In these series there is a significant correlation between dye leakage on iris fluorescein angiography and vitreous adherence to the corneal wound since dye leakage was observed in 40.6% of eyes with vitreous adherence to the wound and only 3.1% of eyes with no vitreous adherence to the corneal wound. On the other hand cystoïd macular edema was observed in 100% of eyes with vitreous adherence to the wound associated with dye leakage on iris fluorescein angiography and in only 10% of eyes with vitreous adherence to the wound but no dye leakage on iris fluorescein angiography.
