Excerpt

Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome (FUS) is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology.1–3 The classic features include widely scattered small stellate keratic precipitates, iris heterochromia, and minimal cell and flare in anterior chamber. Common complications include cataract, vitreous opacities, and glaucoma. The disease is also called as Fuchs heterochromic uveitis, Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis, and Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis in the literature, but as frank heterochromia may be absent or subtle, FUS is the currently preferred term.
