A key indicator of intraocular inflammation is “cell and flare,” terms describing inflammatory cells and protein leakage in the aqueous humour. Identifying these signs is crucial for diagnosing and managing ocular conditions., Using the pupil as a dark background, a bright conical beam of light is angled 45° to 60° onto the aqueous to assess cells and flare. This technique also works with a small rectangular beam. A thin, bright beam is angled at 45° to 60° for a detailed view of the corneal layers., Cell and flare represent an acute infection of the anterior chamber; Differentiate based on history: Consider uveitis if underlying autoimmune/rheumatologic conditions; Consider endophthalmitis if severe symptoms or risk factors (e.g., recent eye surgery, trauma within 24hr, FB, recent keratitis, or systemic infection), Slit lamp not only provides a magnified view of intraocular structures (anterior and posterior segment) but also help in qualitative and quantitative analysis of various parameters such as corneal endothelial cell count, corneal thickness, anterior chamber cells, and flare assessment, depth of anterior chamber, pupil size, grading of cataract, s, Inflammation is characterized by the presence and density of circulating immune cells (cell) and a foggy appearance to the slit beam (flare) caused by protein leaking into the anterior chamber through inflamed vessels., Cell, flare, and haze are standard descriptive terms. Cell refers to the number of inflammatory cells seen in a specific eye chamber. Flare is a term distinct to the anterior chamber that refers to the fog-like effect caused by protein exudation from vascular leakage in inflammation..
