Description

In lens-induced uveitis, lens protein in the anterior chamber causes a zonal granulomatous response, which occurs usually 1 day to 3 weeks after capsule rupture. This may be associated with sympathetic ophthalmia. This enucleation specimen shows an indented cornea, accompanied by complete hypopyon occupying the anterior chamber with intense vitreitis. Note that the translucent vitreous has become whitish, and the lens surface is irregular with decoloration of the peripheral areas (arrows).
