Iritis.org

I woke at 4 am with severe eye pain and a lot of tearing in my right eye. I could not stand the light, it was the worst pain! I was lucky to see my eye doc. that same day and was diagnosed with iritis. I am being treated with prendnisolone and dialating drops. I was seen today again, 3 days later and no change so far. I also had a bunch of blood work today to rule out any auto-immune disorder. How long will this eye thing take???
Any thoughts

I don't know! it could be a couple of weeks and never occur again. OR, it might come back in a couple of weeks or a couple of years or every other month. It is impossible to say at this point.
hopefully your doctor will get it under control for you quickly. Please read through the glossary and familiarize yourself with the treatment algorithms for uveitis.

we are here for you and will try to help in any way we can.

Wish you the best,
