Abstract

Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) is characterized by loss of pigment from the posterior surface of the iris in the mid-periphery in both eyes and an attendant deposition of pigment on intraocular structures, such as the back of the cornea, the trabecular meshwork (TM), the iris, and the lens. PDS can occur with or without the pigmentary glaucoma (PG) that was first described as an entity by Sugar and Barbour. 1, 2.
