📷 It’s Photo Friday! This image was taken by Katie Lachut-Yevich. She was one of the top 10 finalists in the Haag-Streit 2023 Slit Lamp Imaging Competition.

👁️ This image uses a technique called retro illumination to demonstrate thinning or lack of pigment in the iris. Light is directed into the pupil and is reflected from the retina. The returning light would normally be blocked by the iris. In this case iris atrophy allows the light to pass though creating a transillumination effect.
