Tangential Tear

This 32 year old gentleman was hit above the right eye with a golf ball from approximately 100 yards. He developed a hyphema. Subsequently he had an elevated intraocular pressure treated with beta blockers. On gonioscopy he was found to have extensive angle recession and an unusual tear visible in the ciliary body face.
