iris examination

The iris, part of the eye structure, has a circular opening in the center of the iris called the pupil, which is like a resizable aperture in the camera. The pigmentation determines the color of the eye. Check the iris to use the concentrating method and add a magnifying glass. Pay attention to the color of the iris, with or without pigmentation (pigmentation) or pigmentation (iris atrophy). When there is inflammation in the iris, it can often become darker due to iris congestion. However, in the case of iris heterochromic ciliary body inflammation, the iris of the affected side becomes lighter, and the contrast of the two sides must be made.
