Synechiae are adhesions of the iris to ocular structures, which can cause issues of aqueous blockage, pupil dilation and more. Anterior synechiae are at the angle of the eye where the peripheral iris impedes aqueous drainage and can lead to angle closure glaucoma. Posterior synechiae are at the pupil margin where the iris is adherent to the anterior lens capsule, which prevents dilation and makes cataract surgery more challenging. Cataract surgery is a good time to manage these synechiae and help restore ocular anatomy and function.
