The term glaucoma-ciliary syndrome generally refers to glaucomatous ciliary inflammation syndrome. Patients with glaucomatous ciliary inflammation syndrome usually recover on their own without medication, but are prone to recurrence.
The cause of glaucomatous ciliary inflammation syndrome has not been clearly defined and may be due to viral infections, overexertion, and nervous tension. Patients may experience episodes of elevated intraocular pressure with symptoms such as blurred vision and foggy vision.
The prognosis for glaucomatous ciliary body inflammation syndrome is good, as the inflammatory episodes and elevated intraocular pressure can last from a few hours to a few weeks, resolving on their own over a period of time, although there is a chance of recurrence. Repeated episodes of the disease may damage the optic nerve, and patients may experience varying degrees of vision loss, affecting their quality of life.
Therefore, once the diagnosis of glaucomatous ciliary body inflammation syndrome is confirmed, patients should go to the hospital regularly for monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
