A 14‐year‐old boy presented with a rare entity known as “accessory iris membrane” (AIM). He had unaided visual acuity of 6/18 (Snellen). Fig. 1a shows accessory iris tissue of the same texture, connected to the collarette with a small pseudopupil. Fig. 1b shows the pupil through gaps in the accessory membrane after dilatation of the pupil. The ultrasound biomicroscopy appearance (UBM) shows continuation of this membrane with anterior stromal layers of iris [Fig. 1c and d]. The other eye was normal except for dilated nonreactive pupil. The parents gave history of some surgery in the left eye 1 year back. The child was advised pupilloplasty for the right eye but the parents refused.
