Abstract
We report herein a patient with iridoschisis and keratoconus. Since th e posterior layers of the cornea and the iris stroma have a common emb ryological deviation, the combination of these two conditions suggests an interrelated pathogenesis. This case is similar to those of patien ts with progressive essential iris atrophy and keratoconus described b y Cavanagh.
