Recurrent subconjunctival hemorrhages in patients with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis.
We examined two women who had keratic precipitates, minimal intracameral cells and flare, diffuse iris stromal atrophy, posterior subcapsular cataract, and vitreous opacities in their left eyes. No ocular pain, photophobia, or posterior synechia was noted. Their right irises appeared brown. Heterochromia was evident in both patients. Recurrent subconjunctival hemorrhages were also in their affected left eyes. It is possible that subconjunctival hemorrhages in our patients may be associated with Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis.
