Anterior synechiae in ophthalmology

Iris adhesions (iris adhesions) or iris synechia (synechia of the anterior layer of the iris) is a congenital pathology characterized by fusion of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the iris. Iris adhesions represent a fusion line and may extend over much of the posterior surface of the cornea. This is a common pathology in children. In this article we will look in more detail: the concept of anterior synechiae in ophthalmology, the causes of the appearance of iris synechiae, the pathogenesis and possible consequences of iris synechiae.

Iris adhesions are a pathological process that is accompanied by the formation of adhesions in the eyes. Read about this on our website in other articles. Conjunctival adhesion membranous effusion is a combination of an inflammatory process associated with the formation of adhesions of the iris in stagnant fluid and a diffuse viral infection. This is a complication that can lead to corneal clouding and other serious effects on vision. After this, the pathology causes hypermetropia, strabismus, color vision disturbances, inflammatory diseases in the area around the eye and the mucous membrane of the eyeballs. If left untreated for a long time, the disease can lead to retinal dystrophy, sudden deterioration of vision or decreased visual acuity, cataracts and blurred vision. The formation of adhesions between the edges of the cornea leads to damage to the cornea under its epithelium. The pathological condition is accompanied by sharp pain. Treatment of iris adhesions should begin immediately after their detection. In the early stages, the disease is treated conservatively. Anti-inflammatory drops “Diclofenac” and “Sofradex” are used.
