A trigger for Iritis
Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2014 7:35 pm
Good Morning
I would like to know more about the triggers, because my Iritis always had something to set it off.
The first time I was kicked in my left eye, It took a very long time to cure as only putting drops 5 times a day only held it at bay for a week then an injection in the eye was required to stop the degeneration of the eye, It was stopped over a period of 3 months.( 18 years old Christchurch, New Zealand)
The second time I was 38 years old and I was hit in the left eye with a piece of metal at work, This time it took six months to control and stop. ( Perth, Western Australia)
The third time, I am now 54 years old, It started as a irritation in the left eye but I knew what the problem was and how to cure it so three months and stopped.
The forth time, I am still 54 years old and 6 weeks later, Dirty water from the front wheel of my bicycle.
Now I have a cataract witch was formed almost instantly from a bump on the head above my left eye. I now have a problem as I can clear the Iritis in 10 weeks but keeps coming back after 2 weeks for no reason, This has been going on for a year as this bump happened in April 2013. I do go to the eye clinic as I do have the auto immune problem in my blood.
I asked the Doctor at the eye clinic if the cataract could be causing the problem, The answer is no because it is inside the lens and from a different part of the eye.
I would like to know if the cataract could cause the immune system to think there is a problem with the eye and be trying to fix it and this is causing the Iritis to return as I can see no other reason.
I have had Xrays and blood tests and everything else is fine.
