Keratic precipitates are inflammatory cell deposits that form on the back of the cornea (the endothelium) during anterior uveitis. They most often appear as multiple small deposits that can group together on the endothelial surface. This clustered, multi‑deposit pattern fits the typical inflammatory response, whereas a single large plaque is less common, and a circular ring around the pupil isn’t how these precipitates usually arrange themselves. In granulomatous uveitis you can see larger greasy-looking precipitates, but they still tend to form in groups rather than as a single, isolated plaque or a ring.
