Clinically, acute anterior uveitis is characterized by a rapid onset of pain, redness, and photophobia. Signs include ciliary injection, pupillary miosis, small keratic pre-cipitates (KP), and cells and flare in the anterior cham-ber. Both peripheral anterior and posterior synechiae may occur (Fig 1). The intraocular pressure often is low at the beginning of the attack due to inflammation of the ciliary body, but later, with the blockage of the outflow channels, it may become elevated. Chronic anterior uveitis has an insidious presentation, as in the “white iritis” of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)[1]. The external eye is not inflamed, and there is no pain or photophobia. Nevertheless, the anterior chamber demonstrates heavy flare and large numbers of cells and fine KP. Other findings include peripheral anterior and posterior synechiae, band keratopathy, sec-ondary cataract, and glaucoma.
