Iridocyclitis is an inflammation of the iris and ciliary body.
Causes are usually idiopathic in nature. But most times it could be as a result of autoimmune conditions, infection or even trauma.
Signs and symptoms includes pains, red eyes, blurry vision, light sensitivity etc..
Delay in treatment can result in angle closure glaucoma, irregular pupil and vision loss.
Treatment is usually a combination of anticholinergic drugs and steroids.
Synechia is a condition whereby the iris adheres to either the cornea ( anterior synechia) or the lens ( posterior synechia)..
This synechia is capable of causing glaucoma. Hence the need to treat as soon as possible.
Synechia is caused by both anterior and posterior uveitis, iridocyclitis, iritis or even trauma.
Prognosis is good if treated as soon as possible.
Synechia is treated with a combination of mydriatics, steroids and prostaglandin analogues.
