Slit lamp and UBM examination revealed iris cysts in both eyes, and a large dominant temporal cyst in the RE produced mild forward displacement of the ciliary body and bulging of the iris root. Diagnosis was iris cyst in both eyes. Assisted by ophthalmic endoscopy, the cyst wall was removed completely without damaging the surrounding tissues or the lens. On postoperative day one, the patient\u2019s best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved, and her intraocular pressure (IOP) decreased. At the 3-months follow-up, the patient\u2019s BCVA and IOP remained stable, and there was no cyst recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case suggests that endoscopic iridocystectomy is a good, viable, and minimally invasive option to treat symptomatic iris cysts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2026.1807287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T05:43:10Z","timestamp":1777527790000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Ophthalmic endoscopy for complete resection of a symptomatic iris pigment epithelial cyst"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yuan","family":"Tao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Jinan Second People\u2019s Hospital, Jinan","place":["Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xing","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Jinan Second People\u2019s Hospital, Jinan","place":["Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mengdi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Jinan Second People\u2019s Hospital, Jinan","place":["Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenming","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Jinan Second People\u2019s Hospital, Jinan","place":["Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Jinan Second People\u2019s Hospital, Jinan","place":["Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"347","DOI":"10.1016\/j.survophthal.2017.08.009","article-title":"Iris cysts: a comprehensive review on diagnosis and treatment.","volume":"63","author":"Georgalas","year":"2018","journal-title":"Surv Ophthalmol."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"102333","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajoc.2025.102333","article-title":"Iris implantation cysts growth five decades after trauma.","volume":"38","author":"Englisch","year":"2025","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"601","DOI":"10.1097\/ICO.0b013e318165b1e0","article-title":"Endoscopic photocoagulation in the management of epithelial downgrowth.","volume":"27","author":"Jadav","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cornea."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"354","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaophthalmol.2014.12","article-title":"Successful management of secondary iris cysts with viscoelastic-assisted endophotocoagulation.","volume":"132","author":"Lockington","year":"2014","journal-title":"JAMA Ophthalmol."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-620x.176123","article-title":"Phaco-Endocycloplasty: a novel technique for management of ring iridociliary cyst presenting as acute angle closure.","volume":"9","author":"Pathak-Ray","year":"2016","journal-title":"Oman J.
