From 'choroid' plus 'iritis' (inflammation of the iris), combining two eye structures with the medical suffix '-itis.' Describes simultaneous inflammation of two distinct eye components.
Choroidoiritis can be painful and cause serious complications because both the choroid's blood supply system and the iris (which controls pupil size) are affected, disrupting multiple eye functions!
