− | There is obvious hyphaema (blood in the anterior chamber) which has clotted, suggesting a high fibrin content. The remaining view of the aqueous chamber is slightly hazy due to aqueous flare. The iris blood vessels are very prominent suggestive of an intense vasculitis. A focal deposit is visible on the anterior lens capsule and is likely to be a persistent pupillary membrane. The pupil has slightly irregular margins. | + | There is obvious hyphaema (blood in the anterior chamber) which has clotted, suggesting a high fibrin content.
