The crypts of Fuchs are a series of openings located on either side of the collarette that allow the stroma and deeper iris tissues to be bathed in aqueous humor. Collagen trabeculae that surround the border of the crypts can be seen in blue irises.

Fuchs’ crypts (a) are lacunae in the anterior border of the iris which arise during resorption of the pupillary membrane. They may be either large or small and closely resemble windows. Four...

Jun 15, 2023 · Fuchs’ crypts (c) are seen at either side of the collarette in the pupillary and ciliary portion and peripherally near the iris root. The pigment ruff is seen at the pupillary edge (d). The blue iris surface shows a less dense anterior border layer and more prominent trabeculae.

Jan 13, 2016 · Fuchs’ crypts (a) are lacunae in the anterior border of the iris which arise during resorption of the pupillary membrane. They may be either large or small and closely resemble windows.

Jan 13, 2016 · The genetic marker SEMA3A rs10235789 was significantly associated with Fuchs' crypt grade in the European, East Asian and South Asian samples and a borderline association between TRAF3IP1 rs3739070 and contraction furrow grade was found in the European sample.

Fuchs, crypts of Pit-like depressions or openings found near the collarette and near the periphery of the iris. They allow the passage of aqueous humour from the anterior chamber into the stroma of the iris as the volume of the iris changes with dilatation and contraction.

There are many textural elements that can be found in the healthy human eye. These include Fuchs’ crypts, Wolfflin nodules, pigment spots, contraction furrows and conjunctival melanosis (figure 1). Fuch’s crypts are diamond-shaped lacunae in the anterior-border layer of the iris, which first arise during

Specifically, two main iris patterns that are commonly observed in the general population were analyzed: the Fuchs’ crypts and the peripupillary pigmented ring.

Jan 13, 2016 · Fuchs’ crypts (a) are lacunae in the anterior border of the iris which arise during resorption of the pupillary membrane. They may be either large or small and closely resemble windows. Four...
