Résumé
To describe two cases of Cobb's tufts in apparently healthy subjects. Observational case series. Two patients reporting sudden vision loss, with subsequent complete recovery, underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, including iris fluorescein angiography. Both patients took an "eye-selfie" using their smartphone to provide evidence of the iris bleeding. Iris fluorescein angiography confirmed the presence of iris neovascular tufts at the pupillary margin. Diagnosis of Cobb's tufts can frequently be challenging. The two patients' astute action in taking photographs of the eye enabled the condition to be promptly identified.
