Iris cysts are uncommon ocular pathologies and their surgical excision is often difficult owing to their location and fragile nature. Herein, we report a patient who complained of progressive, painless blurring of vision in the left eye for six months. On examination, a large smooth non-transilluminant iris mass was seen extending from 11 o’clock to 5 o’clock region and touching the corneal endothelium. Surgical excision was performed and the patient’s vision improved from HM to 6/48.
