353 Dear Editor, There is a diverse group of well‐known uveitic entities which are of unknown etiology. Many experts believe that the majority of them are the consequences of unknown infectious pathogens, most probably viral.[1] Fuch’s heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) is a well‐known entity, which usually presents as a unilateral low‐grade inflammation in a white eye with diffuse, stellate ker...

Purpose: The established methods for observing the morghnl-og;i nF the teer film a=~ based on ;nierfrrenc~ techniques. Since interference patterns are visible only in e pathologically thickened tear film, these techniques are not useful for the physiological tear film morphology. Methods: A ne;.approach is Brewster Angle Microscopy n-which allows the studv of ultra-thin films. In ophthalmology ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the results of cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in patients with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI). METHODS We studied the records of 35 patients with FHI who underwent cataract extraction. Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) was performed by phacoemulsification through a scleral flap in 9 patients and by manual deli...

purpose : to investigate long-term visual outcome and complications after cataract extraction and intraocular lens (iol) implantation in fuchs’ heterochromic iridocyclitis (fhi) methods : in this retrospective study in a private eye clinic in tehran, 25 eyes of 24 patients with fhi who underwent cataract extraction and iol implantation were evaluated based on their visual outcome and intraopera...

A 35-year-old man, followed due to idiopathic generalized epilepsy, presented heterochromia (eyes of two different colours), together with anisocoria (condition in which the left pupil is smaller than the right pupil). The anisocoria became more pronounced in the dark. The patient reported that his eyes had been of different colours ever since he could remember. A diagnosis of idiopathic congen...

Implantation of iris-claw Artisan intraocular lens (IOL) is a surgical option for correction of aphakia; however, these IOLs have not been used in eyes with uveitis including Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) due to possible risk of severe postoperative intraocular inflammation. In the case reported here, we secondarily implanted an Artisan IOL in a 28-year-old man with FHI who had aphak...
