The characteristics of a synovium affected by RA are (1) the presence of a thickened, inflamed membrane lining called pannus, (2) the development of new blood vessels, and...

During the application of the various guidelines for ophthalmic, contact lens, and intraocular products, ocular examination and biomicro scopic examination of rabbit eyes are completed with objective reproducible grading for conjunctival congestion, conjunctival swelling, conjunctival discharge, aqueous (humor) flare, iris involvement, severity and area of corneal opacity or cloudiness, pannus, and intensity of fluorescein staining [39,103]. Other available methods... 

Chronic inflammation of the synovial tissue lining the joint capsule results in tissue proliferation (pannus formation). Pannus invades cartilage and eventually the bone surface, producing erosions of bone and cartilage and leading to joint destruction. The end results may be loss of joint space, loss of joint motion, bony fusion (ankylosis), joint subluxation, tendon contractures, and chronic deformity. 

In addition to the required observation of the cornea, iris, and conjunctiva, serious effects (such as pannus, rupture of the globe, or blistering of the conjunctivae) indicative of a corrosive action are reported. 

Application of 0.1 g into the eyes of rabbits caused moderate conjunctivitis, with exudate and corneal opacity at 72 hours after exposure, they showed severe conjunctivitis, iritis, and diffuse corneal opacities 14 days after exposure, all of the treated eyes had pannus formation and keratoconus. ...

In its early stages trachoma presents as a chronic follicular conjunctivitis with a predilection for the superior tarsal and bulbar conjunctiva. Over time, the conjunctival reaction becomes papillary in nature and, with the inflammatory infiltration that occurs, the follicular character of the infection can become obscured. Patients experience symptoms of photophobia, tearing, and mucoid or mucopurulent discharge. Limbal edema and superior bulbar conjunctival hyperemia also may occur. Conjunctival follicles that form at the limbus are characteristic of severe trachoma. Primary corneal involvement often includes superior epithelial keratitis and superficial superior pannus formation. A wide variety of corneal infiltrates...

Corneal involvement, in the form of superficial punctate keratopathy of the epithelium, is common and is found in 100% of patients. More serious changes include corneal ulceration, with subsequent loss of vision in 70% of patients, neovascularization, pannus, and scarring. Other corneal findings include Trantas dots, keratoconus, and filamentary keratitis.
