Plateau iris

thumb|Plateau iris of a 22-year-old man

'''Plateau iris''' is a medical condition of the eye resulting from anterior displacement of the peripheral iris by the ciliary body, narrowing the drainage angle and potentially causing angle closure glaucoma. It is characterized by a flat iris in the center, but with a pronounced "curve" at the periphery, with it being more common in young, farsighted women, and may have a hereditary component.<ref>{{cite web |last1=S.

Treatments for plateau iris include laser iridotomy, argon laser peripheral iridoplasty, drug therapy, and surgical intervention.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Stefan |first1=Cornel |last2=Iliescu |first2=Daniela Adriana |last3=Batras |first3=Mehdi |last4=Timaru |first4=Cristina Mihaela |last5=De Simone |first5=Algerino |title=Plateau iris – diagnosis and treatment |journal=Romanian Journal of Ophthalmology |date=2015 |volume=59 |issue=1 |pages=14–18 |pmid=27373109 |pmc=5729809 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Nagori |first1=Saya |last2=Laroche |first2=Daniel |title=Treating Plateau Iris |url=https://glaucomatoday.com/articles/2012-sept-oct/treating-plateau-iris |website=Glaucoma Today |access-date=31 December 2025}}</ref>
