Image Summary
Iris Process (IP) is fine extension of iris into posterior portion of the trabecular meshwork. Normally it looks light grey to dark brown in colour. Iris Process is often found in open angle structure. It does not obstruct the iris movement with indentation and aqueous drainage flow. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish Iris Processes from peripheral anterior synechiae.
In case of traumatic angle recession, Iris Process is broken, which is an important sign of angle recession in already deep angle structure.
