What is Seclusio pupillae?

Seclusio pupillae occurs when the synechiae extend 360 degrees around pupillary border. Peripheral anterior synechiae may lead to secondary angle-closure glaucoma if they fuse circumferentially and are typically found inferiorly. PAS are more often found superiorly when associated with primary angle closure.

What causes Keratic precipitates?

Keratic precipitates (KPs) are corneal endothelial deposits that are frequently observed in association with anterior segment inflammation. These precipitates are formed by the aggregation of polymorphonuclear cells, lymphocytes, and epitheloid cells.

What causes anterior chamber inflammation?

When this inflammation affects the iris and the ciliary body only, it is known as anterior uveitis. It is the most common form of uveitis and occurs in around 12 per 100,000 people per year. Anterior uveitis may be caused by injury or infection, but the most common cause is inflammation elsewhere in the body.

What is pupillary occlusion?

In the eye, a pupil with an opaque membrane shutting off the pupillary area.

What causes Synechia?

The cause of synechiae is typically a result of inflammation in the eye, such as from uveitis or as a result of trauma.

Is anterior uveitis an emergency?

Uveitis is generally not a medical emergency unless there is an acute, painful red eye or the eye pressure is dangerously high. In such emergent cases, treatment can be sought with a general ophthalmologist for immediate control of inflammation and eye pressure.

What causes Polycoria?

The general cause of polycoria is unknown, but there are some other eye conditions that are in association with polycoria. These include (although not often) polar cataracts, glaucoma, abnormally long eyelashes, abnormal eye development, and poor vision. There have been cases diagnosed from age 3 to adulthood.

What is pupillary membrane?

Persistent pupillary membrane (PPM) is a condition of the eye involving remnants of a fetal membrane that persist as strands of tissue crossing the pupil. The pupillary membrane in mammals exists in the fetus as a source of blood supply for the lens.
