Iris atrophy is generally difficult to repair through surgery.
Currently, no effective treatment for iris atrophy has been found in the clinic. It is generally necessary to treat the primary diseases causing iris atrophy, such as iritis and glaucoma, to avoid persistent aggravation of the atrophy. Mild iris atrophy has less impact on the patient, is often difficult to detect, and generally does not require treatment.
Moderate and severe iris atrophy may cause discomfort such as photophobia and double vision, and no treatment has been found to repair the atrophied iris. If the patient has significant discomfort, surgical implantation of an artificial iris can be used to alleviate the patient’s discomfort.
It is recommended that patients with significant iris atrophy seek prompt medical attention to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions.
