Iridodonesis

Iridodonesis is a condition in which the iris (coloured part of the eye) vibrates during eye movements Upon moving the eye rapidly, the iris can appear to 'dance, or 'tremble' (tremulousness). This occurs when the lens becomes partially detached (lens subluxation) from its suspensory ligaments. This itself is often asymptomatic and only becomes apparent upon physical examination of the eye. The primary cause of iridodonesis is the subluxation of the lens. This may occur as a result of glaucoma, cataract formation, post-surgical complications, or trauma to the eye Since iridodonesis is a direct consequence of lens subluxation, treating the cause of the detachment by surgical approaches may help reduce the tremulousness of the iris.
