Other adhesions and disruptions of iris and ciliary body - what does this mean

Other adhesions and disruptions of the iris and ciliary body occur when the structures that normally separate the iris and ciliary body become blocked or damaged, leading to a disruption in the normal flow of aqueous humour. this can lead to increased intraocular pressure, inflammation, and impaired vision.

What happens during the disease - other adhesions and disruptions of iris and ciliary body

Other adhesions and disruptions of the iris and ciliary body are caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, inflammation, infection, and neoplasia. these can lead to a decrease in the mobility of the iris and ciliary body, as well as a decrease in the production of aqueous humor. this can lead to a decrease in intraocular pressure, resulting in glaucoma, as well as other vision-related symptoms. in addition, these adhesions and disruptions can lead to increased risk of infection, inflammation, and damage to the cornea.
