Hello everyone
Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2015 3:58 am
My name is Ed, I'm a 48 yo wm and my history of Iritis is as follows:
Had PRK in 2003, took my R eye about 6 weeks to heal.
First bout of Iritis was in R eye, required Pred forte, Kenalog injection and oral pred, but cleared in about 2 -3 weeks, R eye has been OK since then
First bad bout of Iritis in L eye started in 2011 in Orlando, FL, frustrating issue was no cell / flare noted after about a month or less, but had moderate to severe irritation continuing for the next 6 months.
I'm currently in the grip of another post-Iritis cycle of irritation / inflammation which started interestingly enough following another Florida trip.
Other pertinent info I should mention is:
HLAB27 positive, per the Rheumatologists (been on Methotrexate, seemed to make eye worse)
steriod responder (Durezol) definitely in L eye, pressure as high as 35
floppy eyelid syndrome, L eye, been sleeping with patch
vision in L eye still cloudy, Ophthalmologist says possibly cataract or optic nerve damage from increased IOP
Could deal with the cloudiness better, if the irritation was less
Light sensitivity with tearing, especially around fluorescent lights and things like PC monitors
