Assessment of Trabecular Meshwork Pigmentation in Unilateral Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome

1

Fuchs' uveitis syndrome (FUS) is a unilateral, chronic inflammation affecting the anterior uvea, accounting for 1% to 20% of uveitis cases.
2

Diagnosis of FUS relies on clinical features like keratic precipitates, iris atrophy, and absence of posterior synechiae or macular edema.
3

Secondary glaucoma can occur in up to 60% of FUS patients, with various proposed mechanisms for intraocular pressure elevation.
4

This study quantitatively evaluates trabecular meshwork pigmentation in FUS using gonioscopic images analyzed with ImageJ.
5

The findings may provide insights into intraocular pressure dysregulation and the pathophysiology of Fuchs' uveitis syndrome.
