Series of 90 eyes affected with uveitis and 110 eyes with simple glaucoma have been examined by transpupillary transillumination according to Abrams. In the series with uveitis defects were found in the iris pigment layer and in the pupillary ruff, whereas in the simple glaucoma series the conditions were as in normals. The incidence and sizes of defects in association with uveitis were seen to increase with rising numbers of attacks. Such factors as type of uveitis and age of the patients, on the other hand, are of secondary importance. In patients under 45 years of age finding of even minute defects must be regarded as pathological, whereas in older patients only larger, possibly confluent defects can be declared definitely pathological. |
