Anterior uveitis is a type of inflammation that affects the front part of the eye, specifically the anterior chamber, iris, and ciliary body. One of the common complications of this condition is uveitis glaucoma, which is characterized by increased intraocular pressure (IOP). The rise in IOP can be caused by the inflation of inflammatory cells or debris, the formation of peripheral anterior synechiae (which obstructs the outflow of aqueous humor), or the response to treatments. If left untreated
