4-month-old infant with vitreous proliferation, iris adhesion, no anterior chamber

Patient's question:

Vitreous proliferation Iris adhesion No anterior chamber

Doctor's answer:

Iris inflammation is called iritis (the iris is the part that determines the color of the eye), and sometimes the ciliary body behind the iris may also become inflamed. When the iris is inflamed, the tiny white blood cells in the inflamed area and excessive proteins leaking from the small blood vessels inside the eye float in the aqueous humor between the iris and the cornea. If there are too many floating cells in the aqueous humor, they will attack the back of the cornea and also precipitate in the aqueous humor. The cause of iritis is unknown. One or both eyes may be affected. Atropine eye drops and chloramphenicol eye drops can be used.
