This seems common in literature about glaucoma - 4,250 hits in Google. It
refers to the filtration or drainage angle where the cornea attaches to the
iris. OED (2002) and the other dictionaries I checked don't have an entry
for the phrase, nor is it defined under "angle." A full-text search shows
nine citations. See esp. the 1911 cite under "iridial," adj.
