what is pigment dispersion syndrome (krukenberg's spindle)?

Accepted Answer

Glaucoma risk: Pigmentary dispersion is a syndrome where pigment is liberated from the back to the iris due to chaffing and is released into the aqueous humor.  The pigment gradually obstructs the drainage apparatus of the eye and in about 30% of the time, may cause enough elevation in the eye pressure to cause glaucoma (pigmentary glaucoma).  Its more common in younger myopic males. Treatment is available.
