Images of iris features found in Pakistani population (A-E). Arrows are directing towards the iris patterns in images. Fuchs ‘crypts (A) are small or large diamond shaped cavities which appear in the anterior border layer of iris and arise during the constriction of pupillary membrane. Conjunctival melanosis (B) is brownish ring around the iris and/or isolated pigmented spots on sclera. Pigment spots (C) are distinct and well-defined brownish black regions of hyperpigmentation observed on iris surface. Nevi are pigmented spots that deform stromal layer while pigment dots that do not deform stromal layer are known as freckles. This feature is common in brown eyes. Wolfflin nodules (D) are small circular aggregates of collagen which are whitish orange in color and surround the outer boundary of iris. Contraction furrows (E) are discontinuous rings which look like wrinkles and formed during contraction and expansion of pupil. They expand along the outer border of iris.
