phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis (Also known as lens-induced granulomatous endophthalmitis and previously called phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis, phacoantigenic uveitis is a type of lens-induced intraocular inflammation. It is thought to be precipitated by the deposition of antigen–antibody complexes in the lens (type III, Arthus-type reaction) following exposure of the immune system to lens antigens after the lens capsule has been violated. The inflammation may develop after accidental or surgical trauma to the lens.  aao.org 'More) |
