Abstract
- We report the first case of iris vascular tuft (Cobb's tuft) causing recurrent spontaneous hyphema and raised intraocular pressure that underwent laser photocoagulation (LaP). For the first time, we report fluorescein angiogram guided LaP of the lesion and feeder vessels and 1 year angiographic follow up. We also review indications and outcomes of LaP of iris vascular tufts in the literature.
