Intraocular lacrimal gland tissue is an extremely rare choristoma. A newborn girl was seen with a fleshy, vascular tumor arising from the peripheral iris and the anterior chamber angle. The tumor was treated with topical steroids on suspicion of a juvenile xanthogranuloma; later, it grew slightly and a secondary glaucoma developed. Histopathological examination of the resected tumor showed lacrimal gland tissue in the iris. Twelve cases of intraocular lacrimal gland tissue have been reported in the literature.

Based on their physical properties, ophthalmic viscoelastic agents can be divided into 2 groups: higher-viscosity cohesive and lower-viscosity dispersive. Higher-viscosity cohesive agents are best at creating and preserving space, while lower-viscosity dispersive agents are retained better in the anterior chamber and are capable of partitioning spaces. The viscoelastic soft shell technique maximizes the advantages and minimizes the disadvantages of both groups by using dispersive and cohesive agents together in sequence based on the desired surgical goal.
