    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.
