Abstract
To report a case of recurrent hyphema caused by an iris nevus that was successfully treated with photocoagulation. Case report. In a 30-year-old woman with recurrent hyphema secondary to an iris nevus, photocoagulation was applied to the iris nevus. Before photocoagulation of the iris nevus, the patient had increasing frequency of hyphema episodes. After treatment, no hyphema episodes occurred during 13 months of observation. Photocoagulation of the surface of an iris nevus may prevent recurrent hyphema.
