Abstract
The range of clinical changes that occur in posterior uveitis have been well documented. We describe two clinical features of anterior uveitis which we have termed ‘iris pigment epithelitis’ and ‘iris vasculitis’. Other clinical forms of iritis also exist and together with our described findings parallel the spectrum of clinical presentations in posterior uveitis.
