Siderosis of the eye

nothing like the deposition of iron salts in the tissues of the eye. With siderosis, all the tissues of the eye are impregnated with iron salts - corneal stroma, deposition of brown pigment in the form of dust on the endothelium of the cornea from the anterior chamber, which creates its brown opalescence. With local siderosis, pigmentation is noted only around the fragment.
