C/P of Anterior uveitis
 Symptoms:
• AAU: unilateral photophopia, redness, watery eye
• Recurrent: in HLLAB27, idiopathic.
• CAU: insidious or acute onset. In JIA may be asymptomatic till complication
 Signs:
• VA: according to severity
• Ciliary injection: typically in AAU
• Miosis: spasm of sphincter pupillae → synechia
• AC cells (activity indicator): grading
• Hypopyon: immobile in HLAB27. shifting in Behcet.
• KPS (infl. Cells): arlet Δ (except in FHU is discrete). From fine to mutton fat.
• AC flare (protein): hazy turbid aqeous.
• Fibrinous exudate: in hypopyon of HLAB27
• Iris nodules: koeppe (non g, at pupil), Busacca (g, on surface), Roseola($), Russel(FU)
• Post synechia: formed rapidly. At koeppe nodules.
• Iris atrophy: diffuse (FHU), sectoral or patchy (herpetiic)
• Heterochromia irides: in daylight difference of both eyes colour.
• NV: twig like vs, amsler sign (FHU), NVI (NOT radial,FFA)
