On right eye slit lamp examination, eye lids were edematous, conjunctiva was congested with feeder vessels, sclera was normal, cornea was clear and showed arcus senilis, peripheral anterior chamber depth was shallow and pupils were hazy. Iris/ciliary body showed a raised amelanotic lesion extending from 2 to 9 o’clock position and occluding the angle. Ultrasound bio‐microscopy showed an acoustic dense ciliary mass inferiorly [Figure 1a]. Her intraocular pressure was raised and it was 39 mm of mercury (Hg) at the time of examination. Left eye examination was relatively normal in comparison to right eye. Systemic workup and general examination were within normal limits. Clinical diagnosis of right eye angle closure glaucoma with iris/ciliary body melanoma was made and enucleation was performed.
