[edit] Symptoms
Symptoms include:
photophobia
redness
watering of the eyes
lacrimation
miosis, constriction of the pupil
blurred vision
[edit] Causes
Iridocyclitis is usually caused by direct exposure of the eyes to chemicals, particularly
lacrimators.
[edit] Types
Chronic: Persisting for more than six weeks, possibly asymptomatic. Chronic
iridocyclitis is usually associated with systemic disorders including ankylosing
spondylitis, Behet's syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis, Reiter's syndrome, sarcoidosis, syphilis, tuberculosis, and Lyme disease.
Exogenous or Endogenous
Granulomatous or Non-granulomatous
[edit] Treatment
It can be effectively treated with tropane alkaloids or steroids.
To immobilize the iris and decrease pain, one may find tropane alkaloids effective,
particularly scopolamine and atropine in .25% and 1% concentrations respectively.
Topical steroids may be used to decrease inflammation, particularly prednisolone and
dexamethasone.
