Uveitis18
  • Anterior uveitis, or iritis , is inflammation of the iris (the colored part of the eye) and the front portion of the ciliary body . (allaboutvision.com)
  • Anterior uveitis is inflammation of the iris or ciliary body, both of which are located in the front (anterior) part of the uvea. (allaboutvision.com)
  • When only the iris is involved, anterior uveitis may be referred to as iritis . (allaboutvision.com)
  • Anterior uveitis is a specific type of uveitis resulting from inflammation in the anterior, or front portion, of the eye's uvea (the iris and the anterior ciliary body). (allaboutvision.com)
  • Anterior uveitis includes iridocyclitis and iritis. (wikipedia.org)
  • Between 66% and 90% of uveitis cases are anterior in location (iritis). (wikipedia.org)
  • If the inflammation affects the iris and the ciliary body, it's called anterior uveitis or iridocyclitis . (allaboutvision.com)

  • Uveitis: inflammation of the iris of the eye due to stress? (bioprepwatch.com)
  • A 51-year-old woman was referred with an anterior uveitis, initially presenting as a granulomatous iritis. (nih.gov)
  • Sometimes oligoarthritis gives someone an inflammation of the iris (the colored area of the eye) that's known as iridocyclitis , iritis , or uveitis . (kidshealth.org)
  • Uveitis is inflammation of the inside of the eye which affects one or more of the three parts of the uvea: the iris (which gives the eye its colour), the ciliary body (behind the iris, where the aqueous humour is produced) and the choroid (behind the retina). (barraquer.com)
  • When the iris gets inflamed, the condition is called iritis, which is also called anterior uveitis. (findatopdoc.com)
  • Eye diseases or injuries in which the iris can be damaged: eye trauma, inflammation of the iris (iritis or uveitis ), glaucoma , etc. (barraquer.com)
  • Inflammation of the white portion of the eye (the sclera) is called scleritis, and inflammation of the colored portion of the eye (the iris) is called iritis (or anterior uveitis). (sjogrens.org)
  • Uveitis - Also commonly referred to as "iritis," uveitis is caused by inflammation along the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, and choroid). (jucm.com)
  • Uveitis is characterized by eye pain, photophobia, and "ciliary flush" pattern of redness surrounding the iris predominantly. (jucm.com)
  • Xalatan should be used with caution in patients with risk factors for iritis/uveitis. (healthystartalliance.org)
Glaucoma2
  • The aqueous humor, which is secreted very rapidly, is supposed to escape at the angle formed by the junction of the iris with the cornea, and in glaucoma it is believed that the iris adheres to the cornea so that the angle is obstructed. (iblindness.org)
  • Inflammation of the iris (iritis) and certain types of glaucoma cause unequal pupils, but this finding is usually overshadowed by severe eye pain. (merckmanuals.com)
Iridocyclitis4
  • Iridocyclitis is inflammation of the iris and ciliary body with inflammation predominantly confined to the ciliary body. (wikipedia.org)
  • Some forms of iritis, such as Fuchs iridocyclitis, may have no symptoms other than loss of vision or glare from associated cataract. (medscape.com)
  • This is the most common form, it affects the iris (iritis) and, on occasions, the ciliary body (iridocyclitis). (barraquer.com)
  • If the inflammation involves only one or two structures of the eye, a more specific name is given (iritis, cyclitis, choroiditis, iridocyclitis, chorioretinitis). (uclahealth.org)
Cornea6
  • It also makes the fluid that fills the area between the iris and the cornea - the clear dome-shaped area in the front of the eye. (allaboutvision.com)
  • The ciliary body also secretes the clear aqueous fluid that fills the space in the anterior segment of the eye between the cornea and the iris and lens, and it contains the muscle that controls accommodation of the eye. (allaboutvision.com)
  • Pronounced 'si-NECK-ee-ah,' this is when parts of the iris adhere to the back surface of the cornea or the front of the lens. (allaboutvision.com)
  • In nongranulomatous iritis, they tend to be small and are usually located over the inferior half of the cornea. (medscape.com)
  • PLEASE NOTE: If the eye-bleeding is not in the whites but is located in the space between the iris and the cornea it is called hyphema. (eyetoeyefamilyvisioncare.com)
  • The most common features of this syndrome are the movement of endothelial cells off the cornea onto the iris leading to corneal swelling, distortion of the iris, and variable degrees of distortion of the pupil. (bvsalud.org)
Hallmark of iritis2
Pupil11
  • The round, central opening of the iris is called the pupil. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Very small muscles in the iris cause the pupil to get smaller and bigger to control how much light comes into the eye. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The iris of the eye is the thin, circular structure made of connective tissue and muscle that surrounds the pupil . (allaboutvision.com)
  • In addition to giving the eye its color, the iris acts like the diaphragm of a camera and controls the size of the pupil. (allaboutvision.com)
  • One muscle within the iris constricts the pupil in bright light (full sunlight, for example), and another iris muscle dilates (enlarges) the pupil in dim lighting and in the dark. (allaboutvision.com)
  • This is a congenital disorder where a portion of normal iris tissue is missing, causing a misshapen 'keyhole' or 'cat-eye' appearance to the pupil. (allaboutvision.com)
  • These drugs, by contracting the pupil and thus stretching the iris, are believed to draw the latter away from the 'filtration angle' and allow the excess of fluid to escape. (iblindness.org)
  • The iris surrounds the pupil, which is the small black hole in the middle of the eye that helps control how much light enters it. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • The muscles present in the iris help in pupil contraction and relaxation. (findatopdoc.com)
  • The pupil is the black hole located in the centre of the iris, the part that gives colour to the eye. (barraquer.com)
  • Typically, the brown pigmentation around the pupil spreads concentrically towards the periphery of the iris and the entire iris or parts of the iris become more brownish. (nih.gov)
Photophobia3
  • consensual photophobia is typical of iritis, whereas photophobia due to more superficial causes, such as conjunctivitis, is direct but not consensual. (medscape.com)
  • To determine the safety and efficacy of the Ophtec model 311 iris reconstruction lens for treatment of visual disturbances, such as glare or photophobia, related to partial or total absence of the human iris. (nih.gov)
  • Preliminary results suggest that the Ophtec model 311 iris reconstruction lens can improve UCVA and reduce glare and photophobia in patients with partial or total absence of the iris or iris pigmentation. (nih.gov)

  • Lymphocytic markers applied to the biopsy specimen and to the enucleated eye revealed a highly malignant T-cell lymphoma infiltrating the iris, ciliary body, anterior choroid, retina and the adjacent vitreous body. (nih.gov)
  • The diagnosis of iris cysts is based on the slit lamp exam and imaging by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) or anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) . Despite the high-resolution imaging of AS-OCT, UBM remains the gold-standard imaging due to ability to better characterize the interior of the cystic structurs. (eyewiki.org)
  • Iris pigment epithelial cysts can be located on the anterior or posterior surface of the iris. (eyewiki.org)
  • Iris stromal cysts appear as clear masses on the anterior surface of the iris and do transilluminate. (eyewiki.org)
  • Iris cysts secondary to trauma and subsequent epithelial implantation appear as serous or solid in continuity with the wound with or without membranes on the anterior iris surface. (eyewiki.org)
  • Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) may be of utility for small anterior iris lesions such as iris nevi but because of increased posterior shadowing, it is inferior to UBM for visualizing iris cysts. (eyewiki.org)
  • Anterior segment ocular coherence tomography of secondary trauma-related iris cyst (same patient as above). (eyewiki.org)

Autoimmune3
  • Often the cause of iritis lies in the body's autoimmune reaction, then the body's defense switches to its own structures. (bioprepwatch.com)
