Iridocyclitis

The middle layer of the eyeball wall is the uvea, and its anterior part consists of the iris and ciliary body. Iridocyclitis is an inflammation of the iris that affects the adjacent ciliary body. Iridocyclitis is also known as anterior uveitis. When the iris becomes inflamed, it often affects the ciliary body. Therefore, isolated iritis or cyclitis is rare clinically, and they often occur simultaneously. Patients can develop the condition in one or both eyes, and the recurrence rate is high.
