How can someone break their eye or iris!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma is most commn: Difficult to break an eye, but easy to have trauma thru accident, blunt objects, or fracture. The iris can tear as a result of trauma, and easily evaluate with a penlight, and also by going to to your eye doctor to have a slit-lamp exam done, and a dilated fundoscopic exam to check for retinal tears too. Thank goodness! or more people would be 'breaking their eyes!'.
