Abstract

A 25-year-old male presented with ciliary congestion, pigmented cells in the anterior chamber, and raised intraocular pressure (IOP) in both eyes (left > right) two weeks after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). The patient was treated for acute anterior uveitis with topical steroids, moxifloxacin, cycloplegic, and antiglaucoma eye drops. Systemic workup was unremarkable except elevated IgG CMV levels. Despite treatment, inflammation increased and IOP became treatment-refractory (peaked to 50 mmHg), with florid pigment deposition on lens capsule, diffuse iris transillumination defects, and dilated distorted pupils. Suspecting bilateral acute iris transillumination (BAIT), topical moxifloxacin was withdrawn with gradual resolution of disease over four months.
