Purpose of this lecture is the description of problems that can occur in vitreoretinal surgery from defects of the iris‐diaphragm. These are associated with different intraocular tamponades that can cause severe corneal decompensation in case of endothelial contact. A variety of surgical procedures can address these issues, including surgery of the iris and implantation of artificial iris and lens‐iris diaphragms.
