Re: Hi I am New
hi Russell and welcome to the group.
did they test you for the most common cause, HLA B27? this is a form of autoimmune related uveitis. iritis is also known as anterior uveitis. have you developed any cataracts or glaucoma, cystoid macular edema or other changes inside the eye from having it for so long as well as from only using steroids to treat it?
Please join us in our Discussion forum by clicking on BOARD INDEX at the top left corner of this page to be redirected to our various forums. Ask any questions you may develop and I'll do my best to provide you with information. Nothing is too trivial to ask bye the way. I am an old guy too at 62 with over 40 years with uveitis and related eye disease and systemic crap too.
don't worry about spelling, I miss spell things too. thank God for Spell check but I forget to do that.
Take care,
Mike
