Fuchs Heterochromic Iridocyclitis

Fuchs Heterochromic Iridocyclitis

I am a 47 year male and have today been diaganosed by my consultant with having Fachs Heterochronic Iridocyclitis in my left eye.
I just want to know what is the the cause of this condition. Can it be from bacteria, virus, rats etc.
I work with garbage trucks and sewage tankers and was wondering whether I picked any bugs from rats etc.

Kind Regards,

Dear smiler1962,
Fuchs’ heterochromic iridocyclitis is a condition associated with low grade anterior chamber inflammation, glaucoma and occurs in one eye.  Some studies have document an association of rubella or cytomegalovirus.  The etiology is remains unknown.
