Understanding the eyeball\u2013 Iris, Ciliary body and layers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To see things normally, many important eye structures are involved which include (Figure 1):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cornea:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> At the front of the eyeball, there is a circular, transparent protective layer called the \u2018cornea\u2019. It refracts the light entering into the eye lens. The cornea is sensitive to pain and involuntarily causes closing of the eyelid if anything touches it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sclera:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It is the tough, protective white part of the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pupil:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Light enters into our eye lens through this small circular opening located at the center of the Iris. Constriction or dilation (narrowing or widening) of the pupil is controlled by the Iris.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Uvea:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It is the middle, pigmented layer of the eyeball. Uvea consists of three segments- the iris, the choroid, and ciliary body.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Iris:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This structure acts like a diaphragm of a camera. Iris is the visible, coloured part of the eye and is located right in front of the lens.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Choroid:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the middle layer of the eye, between the retina and sclera, it consists of connective tissues and blood vessels. It is situated between the retina and the sclera. This important structure provides nutrients and oxygen to the retina.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Ciliary body:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This structure connects the iris and the choroid and plays a major role in accommodation which is required for clear vision at all distances. It also secretes aqueous humour, which maintains the eye pressure and provides nourishment to eye.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Lens:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Enclosed in a thin transparent capsule, the lens is a transparent structure. It is located behind the pupil. To focus on objects situated at different distances or locations, eye lens can change its shape. With age, the lens becomes thicker or cloudy which can make \u00a0focusing on objects a bit difficult.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Retina:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Retina is the light-sensitive layer of the eye. It has millions of light-sensitive cells known as \u2018photoreceptors\u2019 or \u2018rods and cones\u2019. Rods functions when the light is dim while the cones in the bright light. Cones are of three types and each is sensitive to the wavelength of a distinct primary colour- green, red or blue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Macula:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It is the central, most sensitive part of the retina, located at the back of the eye. It surrounds the fovea.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Fovea:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It consists of a huge concentration of cone cells and is responsible for accurate reading vision.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3640\" src=\"https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/parts-of-human-eye.jpg\" alt=\"parts-of-human-eye\" width=\"500\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/parts-of-human-eye.jpg 760w, https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/parts-of-human-eye-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/parts-of-human-eye-700x635.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br \/>\n<b><i>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Figure 1. Parts of the human eye<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Role and functioning<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eye is one of the most complex organs of the body and it is responsible for carrying out crucial functions. \u00a0The basic role and functioning of various eye structures are dedicated to offer clear vision. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iris is an important structure which regulates the quantity of light that enters the eye. The Choroid contains a pigment that absorbs excess light and prevents blurring of vision. Lens refracts light and focuses it on to the retina. The light sensitive retina has photoreceptors that capture the light that falls on it. These photoreceptors convert the signals into electrical impulses. Through the optic nerve, these signals are then sent to the brain\u2019s visual areas.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apart from focusing on objects, perceiving colour and detail<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, eyes are responsible for producing tears which<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> nourish and lubricate the eye surface and wash away debris.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Mechanism of eye inflammation<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inflammation is the natural defense response of the body to any damaged tissue, toxin, foreign body or germs. But inflammation also brings with it some tissue damage. Eye is unique as it is an immunologically privileged site. This immune privilege makes sure that eye is protected from day to day inflammatory insults. Therefore, the integrity of the various eye structures is maintained and they are able to provide clear vision. When there is a breach in this protective micro-environment of the eye, Uveitis (eye inflammation) is said to occur. This leads to breakdown of the blood-eye-barrier and structures of the eye can now be damaged by inflammation, thus causing loss of clear vision. \u00a0Eye inflammation can occur due to numerous causes such as bacterial or viral infections, autoimmune rheumatic diseases, etc. The prevalence of Uveitis is reported to be 204\/100,000 population. It is a major cause of irreversible blindness. Every year 17.6% patients with uveitis develop temporary or permanent vision loss. About 12.5% develop glaucoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Secondary conditions<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Uveitis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is an inflammation of the uveal tract or uvea (middle pigmented layer of the eye) but it can also damage adjacent structures like the retina, vitreous and sclera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If eye inflammation needs to be treated in time and it can cause secondary eye \u00a0conditions like (Figure 2):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Damage to the cornea (front transparent part of the eye)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cataract (clouding of the lens of the eye)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glaucoma (optic nerve damage due to eye pressure)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scarring in the retina<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Retinal detachment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bleeding in the eye<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Macular edema) Swelling of the centre of the retina<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3645\" src=\"https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/uveitis_complications.jpg\" alt=\"uveitis_complications\" width=\"300\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/uveitis_complications.jpg 760w, https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/uveitis_complications-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neoretina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/uveitis_complications-700x635.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<b><i>Figure 2.

Symptoms of uveitis<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Treatment of Uveitis<\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Infectious uveitis is easily treated with the appropriate dose of anti-microbial tablets and steroid eye drops with or without steroid tablets. For the treatment of non-infectious Uveitis stepladder approach is used as it tends to occur recurrently. Generally, to treat the auto-immune or non-infectious uveitis, steroid drops are prescribed first. Then, the treatment is gradually advanced to steroid injections and\/or tablets. The steroid medication helps reduce eye-inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the uveitis continues to reoccur when a steroid medication is stopped or reduced in dose\/frequency, systemic immunosuppression with an immunomodulatory chemotherapeutic drug is instituted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Medication should only be taken as per the doctor&#8217;s advice. Patients suffering from uveitis should never start or stop taking the medication on his\/her own. The treatment of uveitis is generally prolonged and it needs acceptance, persistence, and cooperation from both the patients and their family members. The sooner uveitis is diagnosed, the chances of successfully treating the condition increases. It is always advisable to consult a specialist in a reputed eye care hospital to take the right call on the course of the treatment for this serious eye disease. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of our most crucial and valuable senses is \u2018vision\u2019.
