What does the ophthalmologist see?
When you visit your ophthalmologist, one of the key things he wants to know is the severity of the iritis. Talk of "cells", "flare", "KP's", and "synechiae" are simply ways of describing the level of inflammation. Here's a quick jargon-buster:

"Quiet"
This means that the eye is not inflamed. No, before you ask, there is no such thing as a "noisy" or "loud" eye. You may see written in your notes "deep and quiet" or "D + Q". This means that the anterior chamber is deep and quiet, the way it should be.
