Lens-induced iridocyclitis - what does this mean
Lens-induced iridocyclitis is an inflammatory eye condition caused by the presence of an intraocular lens implant or contact lens. it occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to the foreign material and causes the iris and ciliary body to become inflamed, resulting in redness, pain, and blurred vision.
What happens during the disease - lens-induced iridocyclitis
Lens-induced iridocyclitis is an inflammatory condition of the eye that is caused by direct contact between a contact lens and the iris. this contact can cause a reaction which leads to inflammation, irritation, and swelling of the iris and the ciliary body. this can cause pain, redness, and decreased vision.
