What inconvenience can keratitis bring?

Anterior chamber empyema: severe cases are often complicated with iridocyclitis. Because the white blood cells exuded from iris ciliary body make the aqueous humor of anterior chamber turbid, and settle in the lower part of anterior chamber angle, it is called anterior chamber empyema. Empyema may be completely absorbed (the thinner it is, the easier it will be absorbed). Fibrous exudates can form connective tissue, produce anterior or posterior synechia around the iris, and even cause pupil atresia. There is a deposit on the posterior wall of the cornea in the patients with ciliary body involvement.

Posterior elastic membrane prolapse: because corneal ulcer can progress to the deep layer, when the cornea is about to be perforated, a thin layer of transparent tissue can appear on the ulcer base, such as "black" vesicles protruding forward, which is rarely seen in young people and young children, because it is often pierced by high intraocular pressure, such as cough, sneezing, blepharospasm, etc. Check when not careful, strong separate eyelids, also often make it pierced.

Corneal perforation: when corneal perforation occurs, the patient feels intense pain and hot tears (aqueous humor) flowing out, but the original pain symptoms disappear; After perforation, the aqueous humor overflowed. First, the anterior chamber became shallow or even disappeared, then the iris and lens moved forward and contacted with the posterior wall of cornea, and the eyeball became soft. After corneal perforation, the outcome is different according to the size and location of the perforation.
