Posterior synechiae, iris – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1994696854

This is a condition where the iris adheres to lens. Synechiae can be caused by ocular trauma, iritis or iridocyclitis and may lead to certain types of glaucoma. It is sometimes visible on careful examination but usually more easily through an ophthalmoscope or slit lamp.
