What is iridocyclitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eye inflammation: Iridocyclitis is an inflammation of the inner tissues of the eye (uvea) which causes intense pain, photophobia, red eye, blurred vision, and possibly headache. It may be related to underlying systemic conditions like collagen vascular diseases, but may also be sporadic. The cyclitis part involves inflammation of the ciliary body which usually lowers eye pressure. Evaluation & treatment mandatory!
