Abstract
Anterior uveitis is an inflammation of the uveal tract that involves the iris, anterior part of ciliary body or both. It can be classified as acute or chronic anterior uveitis, according to its clinical course, granulomatous or non-granulomatous anterior uveitis, according to its clinical appearence or infectious or non-infectious anterior uveitis, according to its etiology. It is the commonest form of uveitis and less sight-threatening than posterior segment inflammation, however in some cases it can lead to serious complications such as cataract, glaucoma, and cystoid macular edema. Nevertheless these complications can be prevented if anterior uveitis diagnosed and treated on time. Recognition of ocular findings and diagnostic clues in anterior uveitis is essential in order to identify specific ocular and systemic conditions.
