Abstrakt: Corneal haze and elevated measured intraocular pressure in a young child with iris abnormalities are suggestive for glaucoma, but primary corneal disease is another possibility. We highlight the case of a 10-year-old boy with these clinical signs who was initially treated for glaucoma but in fact had congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, iris colobomas, and no glaucoma.
