Such protein abnormalities make take time to build up or process within cells, and unlike recessive disorders where often an enzyme is the gene product and thus present early in life, dominant disorders are often not present until adulthood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Corneal abnormalities such as opacities or sclerocornea may be present. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Heterochromia is present if the color of the 2 irises is different (Figure 29–10). This may occur in association with a number of ocular or systemic conditions (Table 29–1). [entokey.com]
Jaw & Teeth
- Small Teeth
When Rieger’s anomaly occurs in association with dental abnormalities (i.e., a decrease in the number of teeth, small teeth, or anodontia) and facial malformations (i.e., displacement of the jaw, flattening of the midface, a receding upper lip and prominent [rarediseases.org]
- Microdontia
No additional dental anomalies were noted in any of the affected family members such as microdontia, enamel hypoplasia or craniofacial abnormalities. [nature.com]
Face, Head & Neck
- Prominent Nasal Root
Dystopia canthorum is a prominent and nearly constant (>95%) feature of type 1, and together with the prominent nasal root and increased intercanthal distance may suggest hypertelorism. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Workup
If there is the presence of bilateral granulomatous or recurrent uveitis, a workup is indicated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment Treatment Options: No ocular treatment is necessary. Patients may benefit from cochlear implants. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Treatment Aniridia affects the eyes in many ways, and affects people at different severity levels. Treatment for the disorder can take many forms. [verywellhealth.com]
Such treatment can last for a few months. Steroid Treatment: When inflammation is the reason behind macular edema, your eye doctor may recommend steroid treatment, which can be administered in form of pills, eye-drops or injections. [irisvision.com]
Prognosis
Differential Diagnosis The differential diagnoses includes: Acute angle-closure glaucoma Conjunctivitis Corneal abrasion Corneal ulcer HSV keratitis Intraocular foreign body Scleritis Ulcerative keratitis Ultraviolet keratitis Prognosis The prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Aniridia and its associated symptoms remain with someone who suffers from it throughout their life, however the co-disorders are treatable meaning the aniridia itself is not degenerative – it doesn’t get any worse. [optometrist.com.au]
Parents will be made aware of the visual potential of the child, the possible need for special educational placement, and the long-term prognosis and/or progression of the disease. In some cases low vision aids may be necessary or helpful. [childrensnational.org]
From What is the prognosis for iritis? In most cases, iritis responds to a short course of steroid eyedrops and cycloplegics (dilation drops) with no problems. [medicinenet.com]
The prognosis is generally good and repigmentation can occur spontaneously(3-5). Here we describe a case of BADI and discuss its main clinical aspects and differential diagnosis. [scielo.br]
Etiology
Non-infectious etiologies like iris ischemia and neurotrophic mechanisms have also been proposed(3); however, no causative agents have been confirmed yet. [scielo.br]
A characteristic clinical lesion must also be present, histopathologic evidence of tissue invasion (eg, yeasts, pseudohyphae, or hyphae in tissue specimens) must be documented, and other etiologies must be excluded. [merckmanuals.com]

However, a family has been reported with a severe 'Axenfeld-Rieger phenotype' in which a digenic etiology may have been responsible: patients had mutations in both FOXC1 and PITX2. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
The etiology of glaucoma in unclear and remains an active area of research. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends a complete eye exam by the age of 40 or earlier for those at increased risk. [rarediseases.org]

DISCUSSION BADI is a rare disease with unknown etiology and pathophysiology. The largest published case series of BADI enrolled 26 patients and revealed a previous history of upper respiratory tract infection in 35.8%(5). [scielo.br]
Pathophysiology Eye pain is thought to be due to irritation of the ciliary nerves and ciliary muscle spasm. Photophobia is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve from the ciliary spasm. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Can iritis be prevented? There is not much you can do to prevent iritis. If you have an autoimmune condition, taking your medicines as prescribed may help prevent iritis. [cedars-sinai.org]
Zinc prevents your body from absorbing copper from your diet. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
The treatment of iritis is primarily aimed at reducing inflammation and pain and preventing complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Early detection and treatment could prevent vision loss. See an eye care professional right away if you have a sudden change in vision, if everything looks dim, or if you see flashes of light. [icdlist.com]
