Posterior cyclitis - what does this mean
Posterior cyclitis is an inflammatory condition of the eye that affects the ciliary body, which is the part of the eye responsible for controlling the shape of the lens and the amount of fluids in the eye. it is usually caused by an infection, trauma, or autoimmune disorder, and can result in eye pain, redness, and blurred vision.
What happens during the disease - posterior cyclitis
Posterior cyclitis is an inflammatory condition of the posterior ciliary arteries, which supply blood to the structures of the eye. it is believed to be caused by an autoimmune response, wherein the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the ciliary arteries and causes inflammation. this inflammation of the ciliary arteries can lead to decreased blood flow to the eye, resulting in blurred vision, pain, and possibly permanent vision loss.
