Sympathetic ophthalmia

Sympathetic ophthalmia can cause non-purulent uveitis after a penetrating eye trauma in one eye. The healthy eye's uveal membrane also has acute diffuse inflammation of the same nature. The injured eye is called irritated eye, the uninjured eye is called sympathetic eye, and sympathetic ophthalmitis is its general name. The incidence of sympathetic ophthalmia accounts for 1.2% of eyeball perforation injuries. After the penetrating injury of the eyeball, the interval between the symptomatic ophthalmitis and the onset of the disease is mostly 2 weeks to 1 year, and 2 to 8 weeks is considered the most dangerous stage.
