  • Acute (or subacute) – comes on suddenly, often as a complication of influenza or rheumatic diseases.

Depending on the form of the inflammatory process the following types of iridocyclitis:

  • Fibrous – occurs when trauma to the eye. In this case, the anterior eye chamber is formed fibrinous exudate. The exudate is accompanied by a no less dangerous symptoms: lacrimation, blepharospasm and photophobia. In addition, the fibrinous iridocyclitis characterized by severe pain in the affected eye, clouding of the vitreous body and the appearance of adhesions.

  • Hemorrhagic iridocyclitis - is the result of hitting the walls of the blood vessels in the eyes viral infection. As a result of exposure of the virus into the anterior eye chamber and in the vitreous body is going hemorrhagic exudate with the admixture of blood.
  • Sympathetic iridocyclitis – the disease occurs with alternating periods of exacerbation and remission may last for months or years. The progression of the disease slowed, acute forms almost never occur. Damage occurs primarily of the anterior part of the choroid, coupled with retinal detachment and the appearance of diffuse choreolab. Launched by the sympathetic iridocyclitis is inevitable infiltrative or exudative changes of the choroid. It's also possible and the emergence of complications in the form of neuroretinitis.
  • Serous iridocyclitis – besides the presence of serous exudate in the anterior chamber of the eye, this disease is characterized by mild vascular injection. On the back of the cornea appear gray precipitates. Threat of serous iridocyclitis primarily by the development of secondary glaucoma, as well as a change in moisture of the anterior chamber of the eye due to the characteristic of the constant fluctuations of intraocular pressure.

  • Mixed iridocyclitis, or sero-fibrinous. It is characterized by the simultaneous presence on the cornea whitish or pigmented precipitates, as well as redness and swelling of the iris. In addition, vitreous opacities and adhesions.

In Addition to the above symptoms inherent in one or another form of iridocyclitis, the disease occurs with the emergence of local plethora in the optic nerve, and focal chorioretinitis.

The Symptoms

For acute iridocyclitis in patients experience the following symptoms:

  • Strong, worse at night, pain in the eyes.
  • Unhealthy reaction of the eyes to light. Under the action of light is observed profuse lacrimation.
  • Sudden vision loss.
  • Muddy shade of the iris.
  • Narrowed deformed pupil reacts poorly to light.
  • Deposition of exudate in the vitreous body, the crystal and the back surface of the cornea. Such a deposition is called the ‘precipitate”.
  • The Formation of adhesions between the lens and the pupil.
  • Reduction of intraocular pressure.
  • Extension prilimary blood vessels.

In Addition to these symptoms, the list can be expanded further. It depends on the kind of acute iridocyclitis. Namely, distinguish between flu and acute rheumatic iridocyclitis.

Hippodrome acute iridocyclitis inherent in extensivethe inflammatory process, eventually leading to the fusion of the front shell of the lens and the edge of the iris. Rheumatic form is accompanied by severe pain and hemorrhage in the anterior chamber of the eyeball.

Chronic iridocyclitis has the same symptoms as acute, with the only difference that all the symptoms are less pronounced. Despite this, the less dangerous the disease is, but on the contrary, worse treatment outcomes.

Age diseases

Most Often iridocyclitis overtakes people aged about 40 years, but not excluded cases of children, adolescents, and the elderly.

Causes

If we consider the etiological aspect of the disease, there are:

  • Infectious iridocyclitis – occurs under the influence of exposure to parasites, fungi, bacteria and viruses.
  • Allergic iridocyclitis.
  • Iridocyclitis caused by systemic diseases (rheumatism, lupus, ankylosing spondylitis).
  • Iridocyclitis caused by trauma to the eye.
  • Iridocyclitis, occurs on the basis of metabolic disorders and endocrine diseases.

The causes of the disease include:

  • Infectious diseases (tuberculosis, herpes, syphilis, influenza).
  • Systemic diseases.
  • Allergy.
  • Eye Injuries.
  • Hypothermia.
  • Malnutrition.
  • Reduced immunity.
  • Diseases of the oral cavity.
  • Diseases of ENT-organs.

Diagnosis of disease

How to recognize iridocyclitis? To clarify the diagnosis the doctor will help a number of additional studies:

  • Definition of visual acuity. One of the symptoms is blurred vision caused by the presence in the eye of exudate or edema of the cornea.
  • Determination of the intraocular pressure. Increased pressure inside the eye – another alarm bell for suspicion iridocyclitis. Usually the increase is due to the formation of adhesions in the iridocorneal corner of your eyes.
  • Biomicroscopy.
  • Inspection in transmitted light – allows to detect the presence of vitreous exudate.
  • Ophthalmoscopy. If the patient is suffering from iridocyclitis, one of the methods of diagnosis becomes ophthalmoscopy. In this case, the examination of the fundus will be difficult or virtually impossible due to the inflammation in the anterior eyes.
  • Ultrasound examination of the eye.
  • Laboratory methods: common blood analysis, biochemical blood analysis, raumprobe, coagulation, allergopharma.
  • PCR.
  • ELISA.
  • Radiography of the lungs and sinuses.

The results of the research and taken tests, the patient is sent for consultation to the internist, infectious disease doctor, an allergist, a rheumatologist, and dermatologist to confirm the presence of the disease.

Therapy medicines

Any disease requires a careful approach, including iridocyclitis. Treatment, drugs can be strictly individual (if the patient is allergic), or shared.

Medical treatment is assigned depending on the form of the disease:

  • Non-specific form iridocyclitis treated with hormonal therapy with the use of such tools as "Prednisolone" and "Hydrocortisone". Drugs have anti-inflammatory effect, have a powerful effect not only for treatment but also for preventing overflow of the disease in a more complex form, as well as possible complications.
  • Form of Purulent iridocyclitis can be cured by broad-spectrum antibiotics. At the same time they can be prescribed analgesics to relieve pain of the eyes, the accompanying iridocyclitis. Treatment with antibiotics together with painkillers gives a good effect. The discomfort can be easily removed novocaine infraorbital and pterygopalatine-orbital blockade. In addition to antibiotics, purulent form of the disease also requires careful daily skin treatment around the eyes a chatterbox or a special gel. In some cases, the doctor may decide on the appointment of a subcutaneous injection of biostimulants.

Regardless of the form and stage of the disease, the formation of adhesions (i.e., adhesions) and adhesions of the lens of the eye with iris, used drugs-mydriatic, which include:

  • Solution mydriacyl.
  • A Solution of epinephrine at a ratio of 1:1000.
  • A Solution of sulphate of atropine (is used in 1% concentration).
  • Drop the ‘Diclof" (non-steroidal, it is possible to replace them with “On-Kloof” and “Indomethacin”) used to enhance the therapeutic action of the above midriatikov.

These funds are aimed primarily at the expansion of the pupil. If iridocyclitis caused by any systemic disease, treatment of eye diseases should be done in conjunction with getting rid of the causes. Isolated therapy is unable to give long-term desired result.
