Iridodonesis

Iridodonesis (/ˌaɪərɪdoʊdoʊˈniːsɪs/) is the vibration or agitated motion of the iris with eye movement.[1] This may be caused by lens subluxation,[2] the incomplete or partial dislocation of the lens; or by aphakia, the absence of a lens. The term originated from irido- (Latin: iris) + doneo (Greek: δονεο, to shake to and fro).[3]
