Posner and Schlossman (17) theorized a causal relationship between autonomic dysfunction and ocular diseases after studying a group of patients who had intermittent unilateral attacks of
iridocyclitis and glaucoma (now known as Posner-Schlossman syndrome).
Neonatal herpes usually results from infection of the newborn by virus secreted into the mothers' genital tract during labour and delivery, compared to rare cases of intrauterine infections, and ocular manifestations are conjunctivitis, keratitis, microphthalmia, cataract,
iridocyclitis, iris dystrophy, optic neuritis, retinitis, and chorioretinitis (3).

Iridocyclitis: inflammation of the iris and of the ciliary body of the eye.
Because some children with JRA may develop a potentially serious eye problem called
iridocyclitis, regular eye care and exams are an important part of treatment.
The most common ocular adverse reactions in subjects treated with DEXTENZA were: anterior chamber inflammation including iritis and
iridocyclitis (10%), increased intraocular pressure (6%), reduced visual acuity (2%), cystoid macular edema (1%), corneal edema (1%), eye pain (1%), and conjunctival hyperemia (1%).
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of severe acute and chronic allergic and inflammatory processes involving the eye and its adnexa such as keratitis, iritis,
iridocyclitis, diffuse posterior uveitis and choroiditis, optic neuritis, chorioretinitis, anterior segment inflammation one of 19 indications.
Two eyes developed
iridocyclitis postoperatively but it responded to topical treatment.
Anterior segment findings included conjunctival injection,
iridocyclitis, and fine keratic precipitates in all patients (100%), but severe inflammation with more than 3+ cells (by the grading of inflammation described by the SUN working groups) [18] was not seen.
It is mainly characterized by serous retinal detachment,
iridocyclitis and choroidal swelling.
In some instances, vitreous seeding may be extensive and allow tumour cells to be visible as spheroid masses floating in the vitreous and anterior chamber, simulating endophthalmitis or
iridocyclitis, and obscuring the primary mass.
(4) The occurrence of different leprosy-related eye complications in LL hansen's and Type II lepra reaction is about 44%, which includes ocular muscle weakness, lagophthalmos, ectropion, trichiasis, entropion, blocked nasolacrimal ducts, pterygium, impaired corneal sensation, corneal opacity, corneal nerve beading, punctate keratitis, iris atrophy, blindness, episcleritis, scleritis,
iridocyclitis, iris atrophy and decreased visual acuity, corneal ulcer and cataract.
