Tissue adhesive are commonly used in ophthalmology to seal small corneal perforations. We report a case of inadvertent instillation of cyanoacrylate adhesive (Histoacryl) in the anterior chamber resulting in polymerization of the glue on the corneal endothelial surface, with iridocorneal and iridolenticular adhesion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D007499 Iris Diseases Diseases, dysfunctions, or disorders of or located in the iris. Disease, Iris,Diseases, Iris,Iris Disease
D007903 Lens Capsule, Crystalline The thin noncellular outer covering of the CRYSTALLINE LENS composed mainly of COLLAGEN TYPE IV and GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS. It is secreted by the embryonic anterior and posterior epithelium. The embryonic posterior epithelium later disappears.
