AB This  rare  disorder  presents  as  an  insidious  or  acute  anterior  uveitis  of  both  eyes  (exciting  and  sympathizing  eye)  after  recent  or  remote  trauma  to  the  exciting  eye.  The  initial  injury  is  usually  from  prior  penetrating  eye  trauma  with  delayed  wound  closure  or,  less  commonly,  from  prior  eye  surgery.
