Iritis

Iritis is a form of anterior uveitis characterized by localized inflammation of the iris within the anterior segment of the eye Pathophysiologically, the condition involves leukocyte extravasation into the anterior chamber, producing hallmark clinical findings of inflammatory cells and protein flare on slit-lamp biomicroscopy
