Normal iris may appear in intraocular washings from incidental ocutome cutting of the iris in an attempt to remove vitreous or lens fragments in the anterior chamber. Normal iris also may appear in fine needle aspiration specimens of iris neoplasms. In general, normal iris epithelium is so densely pigmented that cellular details are obscured. Iris stroma is characterized by the fine reticular meshwork of very cohesive and vascularized stroma.
