Description: HETEROCHROMIC IRIDOCYCLITIS OF FUCHS It is a low grade chronic cyclitis, the only apparent features of which are a lightening of the colour of the affected iris and presence of few keratic precipitates on cornea. Iris become atrophic, loses its markings and readily transilluminates in circumscribed areas, and a cataract develops. Loss of sympathetic nerve supply leading to dilatation of blood vessels, white cells escape and get deposited on the cornea as precipitates. The cataract has good operative prognosis, but secondary glaucoma develops.
