Dr. Jodi Luchs answered

Specializes in LASIK Surgery

See Ophthalmologist: It is possible that you have pigment dispersion syndrome, a condition where the iris pigment granules are liberated over time. This condition can be associated with glaucoma so you should see your ophthalmologist promptly for a full examination.
