- Abstract
Introduction: Bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT) is a clinical condition characterized by acute bilateral loss of iris pigment epithelium and iris transillumination. Because of the similar presentation, it is commonly confused with anterior uveitis, making it an important differential diagnosis for this condition., Case Description: We report the case of a 60-year-old male patient who presented all the characteristics of BAIT after undergoing systemic treatment with moxifloxacin and that had the intraocular pressure (IOP) successfully controlled with selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT)., Conclusion: SLT might be an effective therapeutic option and should be considered for the control of IOP in BAIT.
