it looks like it (iris and cornea touching) though I don't know a great deal about eyes. Good luck!

There are two different uses of 'secondary' here - 'secondary surgeries' means 'further operations in addition to the primary operation', and 'secondary to excessive vault' means 'as a result of excessive vault'.

Hope this is helpful.
