Purpose: To report a case of a young adult with dense bilateral accessory iris membranes (AIMs).
Observations: AIMs can influence vision by multiple mechanisms. We discuss clinical examination and imaging considerations that can help parse optical and refractive complications to better guide intervention discussions. We also describe our surgical approach and perioperative management to help minimize trauma to the eye and maximize favorable surgical outcomes in these cases.
Conclusions And Importance: This case highlights the excellent symptomatic, visual acuity and stereopsis gains that can be achieved following surgical intervention for this clinical entity, even in older patients.

Introduction: Granulomatous uveitis is mainly defined by the nature of keratic precipitates and iris nodules. Anterior chamber (AC) granulomas, also known as Berlin nodules (BN), are circumscribed granulomatous nodules that form in the iridocorneal angle (ICA) in response to intraocular inflammation.
Cases Description: We present three representative cases of anterior uveitis with berlin nodules to insist on the clinical features of this entity.

Immune privilege in the eye involves physical barriers, immune regulation and secreted proteins that together limit the damaging effects of intraocular immune responses and inflammation. The neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) normally circulates in the aqueous humour of the anterior chamber and the vitreous fluid, secreted by iris and ciliary epithelium, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). α-MSH plays an important role in maintaining ocular immune privilege by helping the development of suppressor immune cells and by activating regulatory T-cells.
