Iridocyclitis is inflammation of the iris and ciliary body with inflammation predominantly confined to the ciliary body. Between 66% and 90% of uveitis cases are anterior in location (iritis). [ 4 ] This condition can occur as a single episode and subside with proper treatment or may take on a recurrent or chronic nature.
These new vessels do not have the same characteristics as the blood vessels originally formed in the eye. In addition, new blood vessels can form in areas that do not have them. Specifically, new blood vessels can be observed on the iris. In addition to the blood vessels in the iris, they can grow into the angle of the eye.
Misshapen pupil due to Iritis-caused synechia in the left eye. Ocular synechia is an eye condition where the iris adheres to either the cornea (i.e. anterior synechia) or lens (i.e. posterior synechia). [1] [2] Synechiae can be caused by ocular trauma, iritis or iridocyclitis and may lead to certain types of glaucoma.
Hypopyon is a medical condition involving inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber of the eye.. It is an exudate rich in white blood cells, seen in the anterior chamber, usually accompanied by redness of the conjunctiva and the underlying episclera.

Features: [8] This non-granulomatous iridocyclitis is associated with: Small keratic precipitates; Mild aqueous flare; Occasionally haemorrhagic hypopyon
Public health experts are warning of a ‘quad-demic’ this winter. Here’s where flu, COVID, RSV, and norovirus are spreading
This is caused due to iris atrophy usually seen in FHI and exposure of the fragile iris vasculature to the vitreous fluid. The sudden change of pressure in the anterior chamber upon suction induced by the paracentesis, or during cataract surgery, causes bursting of the fragile superficial iris capillaries resulting in micro-bleeding.
