RE: Anterior synechiae from 7 to 2 o'clock. Centrally, barely visible, are remnants of the iris stroma with radial traction folds. Glaucomatous excavation of the relatively small disc. If it was not for the Vertical extension of the excavation this disc would pass as normal. These findings are always unilateral and occur mostly with women.
