Secondary Angle-Closure Glaucoma with Flat Anterior Chamber

Secondary Angle-Closure Glaucoma with Flat Anterior Chamber
This eye has a florid uveitis (fibrin strands are visible in the pupil and precipitates on the inferior corneal endothelium). The mixed injection and the distorted pupil may be caused by both, the uveitis and the increased i.o. pressure. The cornea is hazy due to the high i.o. pressure.
