Abstract

Bilateral Acute Iris Transillumination (BAIT) is a disease characterised by bilateral acute, severe pigment dispersion of the iris, and pupil sphincter paralysis. The case is reported of a 51-year-old female who was diagnosed with BAIT syndrome, with refractory ocular hypertension in the left eye, and who needed filtering surgery. Aqueous misdirection was developed a week after surgery, then pars plana vitrectomy was performed and the complication was solved.
