What is another word for sympathetic iritis?
Pronunciation: [sˌɪmpəθˈɛtɪk ɪɹˈa͡ɪtɪs] (IPA) 
Sympathetic iritis, also known as sympathetic ophthalmia, is a rare condition where the body's immune response mistakenly attacks the healthy eye after an injury to the other eye. In this condition, inflammation occurs in the eye, leading to pain, redness, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light. While sympathetic iritis is the commonly used term, there are synonyms that can be used interchangeably to describe this condition. These synonyms include sympathetic uveitis, sympathetic ophthalmic disease, and sympathetic uveo-orbital syndrome. Regardless of the terminology, it is important to recognize and promptly treat this condition to prevent vision loss and complications.
