Secondary Fuchs’s Heterochromic Cyclitis: a New Approach to an Old Disease

Abstract

A study of 17 cases of Fuchs’s heterochromia. Among these patients 10 had chorioretinal scar. In 3 cases the disease was seen after chronic cyclitis in a case after traumatism. Fuchs’s heterochromia seems be in almost all cases a secondary disease. We do not know how a primary ocular disease can lead to Fuchs’s syndrome, it is possible that this mechanism is autoimmune.
