Nonpenetrating trauma in the right eye induces anterior uveitis and secondary glaucoma in the contralateral eye.
A 31-year-old woman was shot with a toy bullet OD. Intracameral cells and fibrin were found, but no penetrating wound was noticed. Flare was observed in the left anterior chamber three days after the incident, and the intraocular pressure OS had increased. No specific type of uveitis or systemic inflammatory disease was identified. We believe that bilateral uveitis was precipitated in our patient by the nonpenetrating trauma.
