 | | The incidence of iridocyclitis in patients with JRA ranges from 8% to 24% and varies among sub-groups of JRA. | | | Observational studies and clinical experience have led us to advocate a treatment philosophy of tolerating no active inflammation at any time in the eyes of children with JRA-associated iridocyclitis. | | | Patients with JRA-associated uveitis should be promptly referred to colleagues experienced with such therapy before permanent ocular damage develops. |

| | A patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 infection developed chronic iridocyclitis and anterior vitritis that were poorly responsive to topical and systemic corticosteroid therapy. | | | This case suggests that HIV may be a cause of uveitis responsive to systemic zidovudine therapy. | | | Subsequent treatment with oral zidovudine resulted in resolution of the iridocyclitis and vitritis and full functional recovery of the eye. |

Iritis (more strictly iridocyclitis) has several consequences: (1) A patient's inflamed iris may stick to his lens by posterior synechiae (adhesions, common) or less often to the back of his cornea by anterior synechiae. | | | Uveitis may be unilateral, or bilateral, and presents in various ways. | | | It may relapse, or it may be insidious and chronic, with few symptoms except progressive loss of vision. |
