If a uveitis is present for a long time, the inflammation can cause other problems such as glaucoma and cataracts. It is therefore important that the uveitis be controlled. [coopereyecare.com]
The condition can affect patients of any age group, present with a variety of visual symptoms, affect one or both eyes, and have an acute or chronic course. [dvra.net]
Entire Body System
- Inflammation
Iritis, or anterior uveitis, is an inflammation of the iris. The cause of the inflammation of iris tissue is generally unknown. In half of the cases, it is secondary to other inflammations in the body. [coopereyecare.com]
An autoimmune reaction causes the inflammation that is thought to cause symptoms of this disorder. [rarediseases.org]
Anterior uveitis is characterized by inflammation of the iris. Intermediate uveitis is characterized by inflammation of the ciliary body. Posterior uveitis is characterized by inflammation of the choroid. [dvra.net]
Other symptoms that need quick attention are pain, double vision, fluid coming from the eye, and inflammation. [icdlist.com]
However, pathological vitreous body floater is caused by bleeding into the eye, inflammation, or the presence of cholesterol or calcium particles that arise in that part of the eye. [sgoem.ch]

Conclusions The diagnosis of vitreous opacities demands close collaboration between the clinician, the pathologist and the microbiologist. [nature.com]
Cocaine (COC) is one of the most frequent causes of drug-related death reported by forensic pathologists [ 118 ]. The post-mortem redistribution hinders the interpretation of blood levels of cocaine [ 119 ]. [omicsonline.org]

- Vitreous Floaters
Symptomatic Vitreous Floaters or Vitreous Opacities – sudden appearance of multiple floaters, particularly dark appearing floaters may be an indication of a more serious condition. [retinaspecialistsmd.com]
Vitreous body floaters (also known as vitreous body haze) are often called flying flies (Latin muscae volitantes), which are pathologies of the vitreous gel filling the eye. [sgoem.ch]
This can cause vitreous floaters. The aqueous humor, the fluid in the front part of the eye, is continuously replenished. However, the gel in the vitreous body is not. [webrn-maculardegeneration.com]
An example of an evolving indication for vitrectomy surgery is large vitreous floaters, usually in patients with a previous posterior vitreous detachment. [jlgh.org]

The cannula system prevented enlargement of the wound from repeated entry and withdrawal of instruments, and reduced the incidence of vitreous prolapse during the procedure. [jlgh.org]
- Excessive Tearing
The gallbladder channel starts at the corner of the eye ( tongziliao ; GB-1, a point indicated for redness and pain of the eyes, failing of vision, and excess tearing). The remedy is to lower the fire, clear it, and then replenish the fluids. [itmonline.org]

Workup
If an underlying disease is suspected to be responsible for the inflammation, a medical workup may be initiated in order to isolate the cause. In many cases a cause cannot be identified despite a thorough investigation. [dvra.net]

Treatment Treatment Options: No prophylactic treatment has been reported but patients need lifelong monitoring to detect and treat glaucoma, retinal neovascularization, and detachments. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Treatment for uveitis requires steroids to suppress the inflammation. Often, dilating drops are used to quiet the inflammation and make the eye more comfortable. The length of treatment varies from patient to patient. [coopereyecare.com]
Different Treatment Options The treatment options for those who suffer from diabetic retinopathy include intraocular corticosteroids injected under topical anesthesia. [ic.steadyhealth.com]

Prognosis
Hunyor, MD Treatment and prognosis There are currently 3 main options for treating VMT syndrome. Watchful waiting and regular monitoring with OCT is often used for patients whose symptoms do not warrant active intervention. [asrs.org]

Epidemiology Classical studies suggested an incidence of about 50% at the age of 50, and 65% beyond 65 years [ 73 ]. Use of OCT has shown that PVD is a much slower process requiring several decades for completion in most individuals [ 31, 72, 74 ]. [karger.com]

Prevention
If we could prevent vitreous liquefaction, and consequently prevent many age-related ocular diseases, then perhaps we could all retain the healthy eyes we had in our youth. n Nancy M. [retinatoday.com]
How is vitreous haemorrhage prevented? Prevention of vitreous haemorrhage involves preventing the underlying causes. [patient.info]
