I having this problem aswell. I've been on Prednisone Acetate drops since 2019. I was just putting one drop of Prednisone once a week in my eyes for around a year now and it has been working. My doctor told me a week ago to stop the drops but the following week. I start to get eye sensitivity and pain in my left eye so, I put one drop in my eye and it took about an hour for the pain to go away. My right eye seem like it's adapting without the drops. I praying my right eye continues on its healing process and hopefully my left eye will start to heal. I have another Ophthalmologist appointment in April. Plus I have another appointment to see the Rheumatologist. I do have artists in my neck😣 I was going to physical therapy but, now I do my neck routines at home. First I've been having problems with sciatica in my mid 30s. Now I'm in my 40s having this Rheumatoid arthritis and this eye inflammatory problems. I feel the older I get the more problems I will have with my body. I thinking about taking up Yoga 🧘🏽♀️. I believe that would help me with my sciatica and arthritis.
My iritis symptom was just a general cloudiness of vision. It looked like the room was filled with a light fog, especially around bright light sources. Prednisolone drops four times a day fixed it in a few days.
Thanks for sharing your experience with iritis, especially since others can learn from your symptoms. Glad to hear that the prednisolone eye drops treated it well.
You know I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. That is what caused my Iritis. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Where can I get these eyedrops? Im having the same symptoms with my left eye. This just started to happen with me out if no where. Do i go to the hospital? Or should i go to an eye doctor
Thank you for this. This is what I’ve been noticing. When the sun is really bright out and I’m walking on the sidewalk with white buildings around me my eyes slowly just start to water and getting more and more sensitive until I can barely open them
I was told by the DR I have inflammation in my eyes and she gave me ICaps. I just hope this works cause it's scary. I also had surgery done when I was a child.
The past 2 days I have had a very sharp pain in my right eye whenever I look at anything bright. The eye socket is also very tender to touch. At first I thought it was a migraine. Having to wear sunglasses all the time and use optrex to help soothe the eye. Sometimes feels like something in the corner by the nose but can't see anything.
@@elizakampa my Dr. gave me erythromycin eye ointment to put in my eye. I get this thing every couple of months ever since I broke my back . It takes the pain away.
The only reason I didn't thumbs up this video....it was excellent but....I would never leave iritis/acute anterior Uveitis to resolve on it's own. I have had it. Get to the hospital asap!
Very painful condition. First indication probably 36 years ago i had A.S. Had an episode just weeks ago again.. Have eye drops now just in case. I take Enbrel injections for A.S. Thankfully I'm not bent over like some poor people.. Nice video . thanks 👍
I've been having inflammation in my eyes for about 1yr the specialist I'm seeing just looks at my eyes and gives me drops and says come back in 3 weeks for about a year and I still see the same blurry
Hey Doc, I hope you could answer some of my questions. So basically one day I woke up and my left eye was a little bit red and I thought it was nothing so I just ignored it, few days later the redness became too much and I started to be very sensitive to light and thus my eye started to ache when it was exposed to light. I went to my local GB and the doctor simply looked at my eye for a second with a flash light and gave me (chloramphenicol eye drops bp 0.5). After using it for few days, the redness seemed to have almost completely gone but the problem started on my other eye. The first eye that got infected seemed to have lost the "light" problem and the pain went away but it's vision became a bit blurry. My question is: What do you think the problem might be and how do I solve it?
It cost me lot money all over a problem something similar i live in uk all medical services gone right down drain u go to hospital havnt clue whats going on with anything skin problems and all types things
My eyes are more sensetive to light and feel more tired than usual and i kind of feel light headed and i'm not sure why but i've had this for about a month now
I came across your channel while trying to search up other ways to help my eye inflammation. I have experienced these problems since December and have seen several doctors. I experience joint pain, fatigue, tingly feeling and numbness at times. I'm not sure if I have iritis but I experience blurriness, itchiness, foreign object, extreme redness and light sensitivity.
I have a question, I will b glad if I can have a second opinion based on my symptoms from a professional who does not know me physically. Sorry for writing all of that, but I just need an answer. And thank you for making videos. My right eye closes on its own all the time, I can't keep it open for more than one minute even if I do, I will not be able to use the left eye at the same time. It's either right or left and right always wins. It first started a few months after a visit to a chiropractor who told me that he could fix my vision so that I won't be struggling to read without glasses, he then started by manipulating my nerves and cracking my neck which then led to a complete loss of sensation right after the treatments as my whole body was paralysed, then breathing issue follow as if I had something in the middle of my chest, I also had trouble speaking even until now. I can't no longer scream or sing like I used to. The pain in the right eye is unbearable, it goes through my brain not to the mention the migraine I get from it. My neck bones are also swollen and painful, which was due to the chiropractic treatment. They is constantly a sound coming from my spine neck bones every time I stretch my upper back or neck, it is very like a popping sound. I never suffered from anything like that in my entire life until now. The same pain goes to my neck, shoulders, spine and arms. Extreme itchiness and redness were the first signs my eyes showed, then I noticed that my right eye was constantly closing without me realizing it as if I was having a stroke, I started to look pale, sleepy and tired also even when I was fully rested, then the double and blurry vision came along. I went to see many ophthalmologists including specialists, one diagnosed me with strabismus soon referred me to a series of specialists who later diagnosed me with Myasthenia Gravis due to the symptoms I was showing and IMG exam results. I don't believe this problem is due to the Myasthenia even though the plasma exchange procedures helped me keep both of my eyes wide open for the two weeks I spent at the hospital, but they were still wandering. I have been hospitalized two times already within three and half months because I was too weak. Besides the eye problem, I can't feel my arms and legs most of the time or they feel extremely heavy as if I had heavy objects attached to them, sometimes my body feels too heavy that I can't even control it, I can't even brush my hair, my teeth, wear my bra or do the house chores. Lifting a baby is even more challenging. I have been using a walker at 26 years every time I walk long distances including in school. It's getting hard to use both eyes at the same time. especially while driving, changing lane, staring at computers and Tvs, or just reading anything. Following the directions of where I am going is very hard and dangerous not just for me, but for the other drivers. But what I noticed is that, everytime I look to the sun whenever my eye closes, then when I reopen it, I feel a difference unfortunately it only last a few seconds and closed again. I wish I could stare at the sun more often. I also use an eye patch which is hard to stand since my right eye is not used to work that hard. Also, I can't tell whether I looking straight at someone or something anymore except when I am using a mirror. People make fun of my eyes and I have lost a boyfriend due to that. I run away for taking pictures because of the way they look meaning wandering, pale and red. I also look about 10 years older than I am which is weird not to mention the acnes I am suffering from due to the use of steroids which I don't find effective. My eyelids are also droopy. I am currently on IVIG infusions which I also don't find effective. This situation is tiring, I can't control. It's been years since it all started and over a year since I was diagnosed with MG. I am sick of this situation. Could my condition be related to something you know or perhaps to the condition you're talking about in the video? Please let me know if you have an idea or a suggestion in something we should be looking into.
Hi Doctor, i have the same problem, few days back i went to market the weather were dusty after that i came back home and get showered, but at night my right eye start getting reddish, first i thought i am sleepless, so that night next morning my eye is full reddish with light pain, i visit doctor and he gave me two drops (Tobramycin 0.3% , Fluorometholone 0.1%, and (polyfac) Sterile) with three days of uses my eye is still the same reddish. note that my vision is ok just irritates from light and water eyes. Please tell me what to do?
@@AARIKA135 yes within 3 days my eyes back to normal, and i am writing down the drops name , you can use 1 drop after 3 hours, and use tissue for clean, and if you're cleaning your infected eyes, don't use that tissue on your other eyes, this is very important, don't touch your hand to your infected eyes, just wipe it with tissues. medicine are : FML Forte (Fluorometholon) 0.25% Moxigan (Moxifloxacin) 0.5% use 1 drop after 3 hours, and use other drop after 10 minutes,
Hi Dr. Porter, for the last 3 weeks we thought our daughter had pink eye and when we were finally refered to an eye Dr. we found out she has iritis. They said her pediatrician may contact us if he feels it's necessary for her to be tested for a number of diseases. We have a follow up with her eye Dr. next week. Is the tests something I should push for if I don't hear from her pediatrician? I'm a nervous wreck especially after hearing from a retired eye Dr at my work that children almost always have a disease if they have iritis. Thank you
+Mallory Stone Blood tests and further workup can be helpful at times to try to determine the cause of an episode of iritis. Other times, the tests come back negative and we don't now exactly why the iritis occurred. I would ask her eye doctor and pediatrician the value of the tests to help you guys decide what would be best next. I hope she improves!
Hello the eye doctor said I have inflammation in my right eye, he gave me eye drops, it stop but one month later came again and cleared again. Does it ever go away for good?
Hi Dr. I had Laser glaucoma surgery 3 weeks ago on my Rt eye And it’s still Red. I’ve been on the Pred Forte eye drops for inflation for 3 weeks 4 times a day. The first few days after surgery it was every two hours. Now for the past four Days they reduced it to 3 times a day every 6 hours. My eyes has shown no Improvement. Is this Normal after Laser glaucoma Surgery and what can I expect? Is it a Chronic issue in your opinion?
I have iRitis because I have ulcerative colitis. I have been prescribed by using FML 0.1 ml 3 times a day and a normal eye drops 5 times for 2 weeks but after 3 weeks it came back again ! Now I’m using the same thing but it seems it’s coming back after I stop. I feel it’s worsen when I’m using my phone. Is stopping using computers and phone helps ? I don’t know what to do as my doctor worried me if I use FML drops again ! Is 3 times fml enough ? I’m thinking maybe if I use more for 2 weeks it will help more Plz help
I have had Iritis all my life.It is heriditary in my family. We have all been diagnosed with having the same blood type, HLA-B27.which might be the main factor. And stress seems to be a trigger for it too.
I was recently diagnosed with iritis and the eye doctor prescribed what I've read,and you also stated, is the norm; steroid drops..these drops are very expensive and it will be a few days until I can pick them up which I most certainly will do because I don't want my eyesight permanently affected..is there anything herbal or over the counter or otherwise that I can get that will help with the discompfort\symptoms\damaging affects until I can get the prescriptions?..the video was very helpful and eased some of my anxiety so thank you for this resource! And thank you just overall!!
Daniel Sabrowski Glad you found the video helpful! I don't know of any over the counter drops or meds that may be able to help. Using sunglasses or avoiding light may help some with the light sensitivity, but you may have already found that on your own. I hope it improves soon for you! Often the steroid drops make a big difference in comfort in the first few days.
My 20yr old daughter have suffered from light sensitivity most of her life, and wear a very strong eye glass prescription. I have had many test done to figure out why she would have such poor vision, considering the way we eat. What I have discovered on my own is the fact that she does not digest her food well, which is the cause of all of her digestion problems. Three gastro doctors later with no help other than to take Miralax the rest of her life for her chronic constipation, I'm on my way to figuring some of her health problems out. She have to take a digestive enzyme, along with HCL to help with her digestion. She have now gone from looking pregnant and bloated to looking and feeling so much better after she eats. I also realize that because she was always tired that her B vitamins were low. ( probably because of the poor digestion) She now take a B complex(garden of life) along with a couple of individual B vitamins such as B5 which helps with constipation, and vitamin B2 which helps with light sensitivity. We have only been doing this a couple of month, but the results are very good so far. She still need help with the constipation which she was born with, but it is getting better. She almost never gets car sick which used to be a big issue., Although her eyes are still sensitive to light it's getting better. We're hopping for a total cure. I never received any of this information from the countless doctors we have visited seeking answers, so thank god for DR. Internet. .
I have reiters syndrome and I've been diagnosed with this Iritis. ive been taking drops for a couple weeks now and I've had the Iritis for about 3. from what I've been told their is water trapped in my lens which causes the bluriness but is this accurate? I'm scared I might go blind because I'm not seeing any improvement in my vision. how long does it normally take for my vision to return if I'm on the drops?
Most of the time, once iritis is controlled, it does not affect vision, but iritis can contribute to cataracts or other eye problems that can continue to affect vision even if the iritis is controlled. If there are changes in the lens of the eye it could be cataract formation that continues to affect vision. Hope you're doing better.
Hi, I am a 50 yo female; I was given a dx Iridocyclitis Primary in 2014 followed 5mos later by a ER visit and hospitalization with a dx colitis, diverticulitis resulting in sigmoid fistula .....My question....could my bowel issue have been a contributing factor in my bout with iritis as it is considered a inflammatory disease? Thank you for your input, and your videos!
Hi doctor, my husband is feeling some problem in left eye with blur vision. He feels OK when remains in Shadow but when he goes outside in sunlight for some time, then feels blur near vision and takes slow recovery. Is it due to iritis.
Can I ask a question, I have an inflammation in the supernasal area in one eye, my doc says its a indication of systemic inflammation, does that mean it has to do with autoimmune disease??
Hello DR so I been having Iritis for about a 1 yr now I was seeing the dr every week I was blind in r eye and 80% gone in L eye...right now all the eye drops and pills he gave me I can see Thank God...... but the thing that is concerning me is now I have alot of wiggly lines most when any light is around what do you preper I do about it????

My husband is diagnosed with inflammation in both the eyes .. his vision is jus 50 percent so blurred it seems .. they have given some blood tests and lungs ct .. wat could be the reason for that .. please help me by replying
Dr. Porter i have inflammation inside my eyes due to consistent use of laptop, i cant open my full eyes in sunlight for sometimes. I think my eyes is become light sensitive due to working on laptop. Plz recommend any treatment : a medicine or drop.
Eye irritation after using a computer for an extended period of time could be computer vision syndrome, a form of dry eyes. See this older episode of A State of Sight for some options, including artificial tears: ua-cam.com/video/pYUEtOFr72s/v-deo.html
had uveitis once was hla b-27 positive, then developed vertigo,ear popping back and neck pain was check gor autoimmune disease was clear , been from doctor to doctor no anwers ......
Hello Dr.I am having eye inflammation my Dr prescribed FML 1 drop twice for first 10 days and one drop once for the next ten days.I read about FML having serious side effects hence have not started the course.Are their any other options apart from topical steriods without serious side effects.
I've been diagnosed with iritis on my left eye. First I thought I had scratched my cornea given that I'm notorious for this given I also have keratoconus. I've seen two doctors and one couldn't really explain how I got iritis. The second stated that due to the vessels on my cornea it seems that lack of oxygen (due to the scleral contacts) is possibly causing the irritation to the iris to occur...therefore my question is, if I can't use the contact (that maintains my cornea from deforming) what else can be done to avoid keratoconus from getting worse and the health of the iris not be compromised? I'm healthy and don't have RA or any of the other known diseases that can trigger iritis...
Currently, corneal collagen crosslinking appears to the be most effective treatment to prevent the worsening of keratoconus. We have been waiting for FDA approval of the procedure for years, but it is still available here in limited situations. Hopefully you will find a solution to keep the iritis away and still see clearly with keratoconus. Thanks for the question!
i don't know, i was diagnosed with a "corneal erosion" and after 2 weeks almost of daily Corneregel and Nettacin, it just got worse, slightly yellowy hint in vision and blurriness. Mind you when i first saw the doc, my vision was perfectly clear and never wore glasses. Now the left eye also seems to start having problems with bright daylight. Also worth mentioning, my top eyelid i noticed was a bit lower for months now, then suddenly from staying a lot in front of the monitor, the right eye got all red, and lacrimated non stop and closed itself, then i went to the doc. Now i can open it but it won't stay up for long... i'm scared.
Can iritis be caused hereditarily? I've had iritis since i was about 7 (14 now) and I've had to deal with it for a majority of my life, my mother has rheumatoid arthritis which is linked to iritis, and I was wondering if you knew if iritis can be caused hereditarily because of my mum's autoimmune disease. And even though I've had a rough time iritis in the past I'm happy that currently it's relatively dormant, and I'm proud to say that I was awarded for being the smartest student in my grade so at least my education for the ,most part was unaffected
I over wore my contacts which is most likely what caused it??? Very irritated and sensitive to light of any kind! Just trying to figure out what’s going on with my eye?
67 yr old here with blue eyes , in good health but have been getting eye migrain (back of eye ache) for longer than i can remember , especially brought on by the sun , sometimes i wake up with it , but only a mild version . Only cures i have found are getting out into the fresh air and breathing deeply and/or taking ibuprofen with lysine . i dislike the sun because of this :-(

I have been having issues with eye inflammation that started about two years ago. It has every 6 months or so, and it seems to be triggered by dust or wind irritation. The initial diagnosis was I have a pinguecula, and it could be surfers eye. I also did a number of lab tests. Last month I saw a new eye doctor and she diagnosed iritis. As opposed to treating it with Pred Forte, she recommended Durezol. At this point, I'm wearing windproof sunglasses, safety glasses or goggles when its windy out. Is wind a common trigger for others?
+Jason Van Horn I haven't heard of wind or dust irritation as a trigger for iritis, but based on your experience, it makes me wonder if this could be related to the problems that you have noticed. I hope it improves for you, thanks for sharing your experience!
@jason - I have dry eyes since 9 years now and yes wind is my biggest killer. Whenever wind blows into my eyes I can’t take it and makes my eyes burn and sting more
*Iritis - eye redness and pain* Inflammation inside the eye (iritis) can cause light sensitivitiy, redness, and aching of the eye. At times, this can occur spontaneously, or it can be associated with inflammatory diseases. Fortunately, it can usually be treated with steroids and dilation of the pupil. If you have any questions, please post below. #eye #iritis #AStateofSight
*****, no it's not normal to get iritis after stopping a drop, especially if you didn't have iritis beforehand. Maybe there could have been something else causing the sensitivity and redness? Glad to hear it's getting better, hope it continues to improve!
Isaac Porter, MD hi please can you help me. My daughter is 8 years old last year in January she had a squint in her eye I thought it was nothing until after 3 months that I took her to the doctors the sent me to a eye hospital straight away when I took her they said that se has lost 40 percent of her eyesight. I was in pieces when they told me that an been so very upset can't belive this was happening to my baby girl. we have been going to the hospital every week to keep a check on what's going on with her eye. the doctors then after a year an a half did a operation as the eye had cateracs. they removed the cateracs but didn't put a lense in as she has to much inflammation in her eye. now after 5 months they have given us some lenses to put in every day for 8 hours. she also has 6 eye drops every day an also to treat the inflammation she is also on methotrexate 17.5 grams per week which is a injection . I'm so worried now her eye is lazy aswell please can you tell me or advise me if you have come through any of this situation or of u can tell me what happends next please thank you
I got punched on My eye and had traumatic iritis. It is been 2 weeks, my eye redness, pain and light sensitivity has gone but still having slightly blurred or hazy vision.
I believe I have Iritis. I knew it wasn't pink eye because there's no "morning crusty eye". This is the 3rd or 4th time I get it. I noticed that I started getting them after I started with CDE *chronic dry eye)... the thing I noticed that will trigger it is when the eye gets very irritated. The first time (happened twice) I accidentally rubbed my eye after cutting jalapenos. It was stinging and the very next day, I woke up with the iritis. This last time was right after I was doing some heavy dusting. Dust must of gotten in my eye and the next day, again woke up with the iritis. My conclusion is... people with CDE get it more often and triggers are harsh irritants. My eye is completely red, itchy, painful like an ache and sensitive to light. It will last about 3-4 days. I have to take some Tylenol to help with the pain because it WILL cause a bad headache.
My friend beat very hard on my eye and then my site gone blur , red eye immediately I had consulted doctor he said that it was inflammation is this really that one or can I go to another doctor
+morarji14143 A severe eye injury can definitely cause inflammation inside the eye. Anytime our patients are unsure of their diagnosis or treatment, we encourage them to seek a second opinion. Hope all turns out well for you.
I am diagnosed to have Anterior Iritis in my right eye a week back. I am 31 and have Ankylosing spondylitis. This is the very first time I diagnosed to have Iritis. I am taking Pred forte almost 8 times a day but not able to see any improvements. My blurry vision has increased a lot with in a week and now My ophthalmologist suggested to take oral steroid tablets of Prednisolone 60 mg once daily in addition to eye drops. Even though the eye pain, secretion of tears and redness has decreased a lot but the blurry vision is increasing day by day. Please let me know how long it usually takes to get rid of blurry vision and is the medication that I am taking is correct to treat Iritis?? Please reply its very scary of loosing vision day to day.
Yes, I was on that medication. It is correct. Are you also using pupil dilating eye drops? There are many different things the doctor van do including eye injections which are painless, just sounds bad bit isn't. I've had them. Best wishes
I got hit with a football in the eye and now the eye is light sensitive and is paining a bit. Just after I got hit, everything appeared blurry. What to do?
I had this once ,doctor said due to stress and hla positive, check gor autoimmune disease came clear but three weeks after that I suffer from vertigo been doctor to doctor no anwers, since all test come out clear,also have stomach issues now,tested for hashimoto's came out clear. ...
i have been suffering with iritis for 5 or 6 years now and even tried to find out which arthritis i have as i am suffering every few months and lasts for 2 / 3 weeks two types of drops i am putting in my eyes will this be for the rest of my life or am i going to be blind one day like wake up blind and thats it Kev Mazunder 55 years old thanks for ya video
I have same symptoms. I was given antibiotics septrine betardron eye drops and prednisolone tab. Yesterday after a week of having my first symptoms. My eyes feels a little bit better but vision is still blur. Does the vision returns back to normal
this seems to correlate with eye strain during times of prolonged use of a computer on the weaker eye. the Dr. says its autoimmune. how do you explain the correlation? overuse of the eye muscle?
When patients with iritis have active inflammation, they could be bothered by eye pain when reading from the muscles inside the eye. If the iritis is not active, computer vision syndrome is a form of dry eyes that can cause irritation and pain. Hope this helps, thanks for the question!
Hi I use to have a sharp pain in my eyes sometimes for a week straight It was so painful to open my eyes I just didn't. I said forget it and laid there. And it was for any light it was red no headaches though. And I still get it from time to time for a day or two any thoughts
Thank you for making this video! I found it very helpful! Im currently beeing treated for Iritis, It started 4 weeks ago in my right eye and I have been treated with cortisone and pupil dialation several times a day since. Yesterday I had an follow up appointment at the hospital and the Doctor saw in the microscope that I have developed Iritis in my left eye aswell. Now Im treating both my eyes. I have done some research online and in my medical books (Im a Nursing Student) and discovered it's not very common to get it in both eyes right? It's not contagious so Im wondering how come I got it im both eye's? Thanks again for the video!
Annie Olsson Glad you liked the video and found it informative! Iritis could be present in one eye or both. You're right that it is not usually caused by an infectious source, but we can see it in both eyes at the same time or in alternate eyes over time. Sometimes we are able to find a systemic cause of iritis that could make it appear in both eyes, or other times we don't know the cause but it still appears in both eyes. I hope it improves for you!
Annie Olsson Have you had any lab work done? Test positive for HLA-B27? Bilateral and ping ponging Uveitis most often occurs from a HLA-B27 malfunction. I had iritis in both my eyes for a year and a half straight. Pred Forte could not knock it out at all, I went through what felt like 15 bottles and tried every taper method in the book. I had to end up seeing the only Occular Immunologist in British Colombia and I got started on a 2 year Methotrexate regiment. The Methotrexate effectively restarted my immune system and I have been Iritis free for 2 whole years, with 0 cell count in both eyes and 20/20 vision.
+Gary Bright Iritis is very unlikely to cause blindness, unless it is very severe, untreated, or leads to other complications. Glad to hear that you have great vision now, hopefully it continues for you!
When I watch TV the text just shines like around a letter I can see the light around it and also all the lamps seem to be really bright and irritating. I tend to squint but I see nobody else having the need to do that. If i make a small circle with my fingers and look through I can see clearly. I am also experiencing some eye pain from time to time. Any idea what's going on?
+ApplicationBot Hard to guess without checking your eyes. Would be a good idea to have a full eye exam to make sure that there are no serious problems with your eyes.
+Isaac Porter, MD It turned put that it was just me thinking I had problems.....My friend got new glasses and I kept thinking of it and started to think I might need them....my eyes are perfectly fine:) Thanks for the replay tho!
I recently went through cataract surgery in my left eye and everything seemed to be fine two or three days after the surgery but a few days after that I noticed that I was sensitive to light and I also noticed it there seem to be some flaring around light fixtures halos I guess you could call him I haven't really noticed any kind of pain in the eye did have some watering of the eye or tearing but the flaring or sensitivity to light seems to affect my vision intermediate in distance
is damage done to the eye due to inflammation reversible? I am suffering from Intermediate UVEITIS and I am losing vision of one eye. I do not know if my eye sight can ever become right.
@@user-lp7xn9tg7o Unfortunately, my lost eye vision cannot be recovered. I am fighting with the disease. I have many surgeries. For e.g. Cataract, XEN Implant, Retina detachment surgery, vitrectomy etc. I am not scaring you. But this disease is all about fighting for your vision.
I'll clarify. I've been diagnosed with iritis today. its my second episode in the last 1.5yrs. both times when it flared up, it correlates with long hours on the computer use. eventhough the doctor says its autoimmune the correlation is there. perhaps an underlying cause is stress or eye strain.
I haven't heard of eyestrain being a trigger for iritis, but like you have noticed, both of your episodes of iritis occurred after using the computer for an extended period of time. I wonder if it could be a trigger for you.
My opinion on this is if its environmental then it would affect both eyes. That makes sense. It's something within the body and could go back to chicken pox. Ie coldsore/shingles.
I’m pretty sure I have this now and I took some ibuprofen it made it stop hurting completely after I took a nap and my eye is no longer sensitive to light but my eye is still very red what should I do 🤷🏽♀️
Please sir I need help I was sitting on my own and I looked to the sun and then I started to see green white dots in front of my vision and now I don't know what to do it's been over a week and it's not going away I started to have redness in my eye and started to feel a little bit light sensitive I went to the doctor's in maid o c t scan for the retina the doctor said it's good and I'm fine I don't have any problems with the retina what should I do what kind of drops should I take I'm now taking a drops called refresh tears and before that I had a drops called ciprodar, optizalin , alirgodl I'm 28 years old the O C T scan was made in 26/3/2018 I'm so scared I read over the internet I might get AMD or macular degeneration in my eyes I tested my vision strength it says +0.25 in my left eye and +0.5 in my right eye with astigmatism of 0.25 in my right eye please help me tell me what should I do thanks
@@Interestingtalesforfun I have no pain but it left me with a bit of blurred vision on my 1 eye. I'd suggest you see a doctor straight away if you are experiencing the same problem
I got hit in the eye I was fine that day but now I can't look at bright things without hurting I've put cold compromise on the eye and the swelling went down but the eye hurts
+Kristopher Tatum Traumatic iritis can be from inflammation inside the eye following an injury. Hopefully you had a chance to get your eyes checked and are doing better now. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Intermittent fasting and after you mastered that, do p a 36 hr fasting, once a month, then after you master the 36 hours, try fasting for 48 hrs only once a month..
Yes, iritis can lead to severe vision problems, especially if it is uncontrolled or severe. Fortunately, with treatment, we are usually able to restore or maintain vision.
Dontae Causey Steroid injections can be used to control iritis or uveitis in some patients. These can be placed in or around the eye. This may be what your doctor is offering.
Dontae Causey Even though the shot is in or around the eye, most patients feel about the same as a shot elsewhere in the body. It can be hard to imagine but most say it is not as bad as it sounds
Do u still have this ? I’ve had this for almost 7 weeks and It feel like my right is taking forever to heal up , I havnt been able to go outside for long periods of time without having to cover my eye… just wanted to know if it ever completely went away for you

Precise description of what I have and my doctor is giving me the same treatment as what you said. Thank you for your confirmation.
I having this problem aswell. I've been on Prednisone Acetate drops since 2019. I was just putting one drop of Prednisone once a week in my eyes for around a year now and it has been working. My doctor told me a week ago to stop the drops but the following week. I start to get eye sensitivity and pain in my left eye so, I put one drop in my eye and it took about an hour for the pain to go away. My right eye seem like it's adapting without the drops. I praying my right eye continues on its healing process and hopefully my left eye will start to heal. I have another Ophthalmologist appointment in April. Plus I have another appointment to see the Rheumatologist. I do have artists in my neck😣 I was going to physical therapy but, now I do my neck routines at home.
First I've been having problems with sciatica in my mid 30s. Now I'm in my 40s having this Rheumatoid arthritis and this eye inflammatory problems. I feel the older I get the more problems I will have with my body. I thinking about taking up Yoga 🧘🏽♀️. I believe that would help me with my sciatica and arthritis.
My iritis symptom was just a general cloudiness of vision. It looked like the room was filled with a light fog, especially around bright light sources. Prednisolone drops four times a day fixed it in a few days.
Thanks for sharing your experience with iritis, especially since others can learn from your symptoms. Glad to hear that the prednisolone eye drops treated it well.
You know I have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
That is what caused my Iritis.

I was taking the eye drops prescribed by the eye doctor for like 3mths. It finally went away
great content, i got my first experience with iritis this weekend
Thank you for this. This is what I’ve been noticing. When the sun is really bright out and I’m walking on the sidewalk with white buildings around me my eyes slowly just start to water and getting more and more sensitive until I can barely open them
I was told by the DR I have inflammation in my eyes and she gave me ICaps. I just hope this works cause it's scary. I also had surgery done when I was a child.
I become vegetarian and it did help a lot.
No cheese
No milk
No coffee
It did make a huge difference. I had TB before and that may trigger my iritis.
The past 2 days I have had a very sharp pain in my right eye whenever I look at anything bright. The eye socket is also very tender to touch. At first I thought it was a migraine. Having to wear sunglasses all the time and use optrex to help soothe the eye. Sometimes feels like something in the corner by the nose but can't see anything.
What did you do to help your eye? This is happening to me now
What did you do? I have had this for 3 days, the pain is not barrable.
@@elizakampa my Dr. gave me erythromycin eye ointment to put in my eye. I get this thing every couple of months ever since I broke my back . It takes the pain away.

Very painful condition. First indication probably 36 years ago i had A.S. Had an episode just weeks ago again.. Have eye drops now just in case. I take Enbrel injections for A.S. Thankfully I'm not bent over like some poor people.. Nice video . thanks 👍
I've been having inflammation in my eyes for about 1yr the specialist I'm seeing just looks at my eyes and gives me drops and says come back in 3 weeks for about a year and I still see the same blurry
Hey Doc, I hope you could answer some of my questions.
So basically one day I woke up and my left eye was a little bit red and I thought it was nothing so I just ignored it, few days later the redness became too much and I started to be very sensitive to light and thus my eye started to ache when it was exposed to light. I went to my local GB and the doctor simply looked at my eye for a second with a flash light and gave me (chloramphenicol eye drops bp 0.5). After using it for few days, the redness seemed to have almost completely gone but the problem started on my other eye. The first eye that got infected seemed to have lost the "light" problem and the pain went away but it's vision became a bit blurry. My question is: What do you think the problem might be and how do I solve it?
Woke up with pain in top of eye one spot cant even touch through eyelid it hurts so bad it hurts even when covered and light hits my other eye .
Take some asprin or tylenol for the pain. It helps.
U need steroidal prednisolone it's an immune deficiency
Yeh I got punched on the eye and yeh
@@ziggyc4474 glad you said that. I've been taking Humira for my skin, which lowers my immune system.
It cost me lot money all over a problem something similar i live in uk all medical services gone right down drain u go to hospital havnt clue whats going on with anything skin problems and all types things
My eyes are more sensetive to light and feel more tired than usual and i kind of feel light headed and i'm not sure why but i've had this for about a month now
Hope you get some relief. Would be a good idea to have you eye doctor take a look to see if they can find any cause for what you're experiencing.

I came across your channel while trying to search up other ways to help my eye inflammation. I have experienced these problems since December and have seen several doctors. I experience joint pain, fatigue, tingly feeling and numbness at times. I'm not sure if I have iritis but I experience blurriness, itchiness, foreign object, extreme redness and light sensitivity.
U are suffering from uveitis.
Vikas Kumar what is the best treatment for rebound redness
I have a question, I will b glad if I can have a second opinion based on my symptoms from a professional who does not know me physically. Sorry for writing all of that, but I just need an answer. And thank you for making videos.
My right eye closes on its own all the time, I can't keep it open for more than one minute even if I do, I will not be able to use the left eye at the same time. It's either right or left and right always wins. It first started a few months after a visit to a chiropractor who told me that he could fix my vision so that I won't be struggling to read without glasses, he then started by manipulating my nerves and cracking my neck which then led to a complete loss of sensation right after the treatments as my whole body was paralysed, then breathing issue follow as if I had something in the middle of my chest, I also had trouble speaking even until now. I can't no longer scream or sing like I used to. The pain in the right eye is unbearable, it goes through my brain not to the mention the migraine I get from it. My neck bones are also swollen and painful, which was due to the chiropractic treatment. They is constantly a sound coming from my spine neck bones every time I stretch my upper back or neck, it is very like a popping sound. I never suffered from anything like that in my entire life until now. The same pain goes to my neck, shoulders, spine and arms.
Extreme itchiness and redness were the first signs my eyes showed, then I noticed that my right eye was constantly closing without me realizing it as if I was having a stroke, I started to look pale, sleepy and tired also even when I was fully rested, then the double and blurry vision came along. I went to see many ophthalmologists including specialists, one diagnosed me with strabismus soon referred me to a series of specialists who later diagnosed me with Myasthenia Gravis due to the symptoms I was showing and IMG exam results.
I don't believe this problem is due to the Myasthenia even though the plasma exchange procedures helped me keep both of my eyes wide open for the two weeks I spent at the hospital, but they were still wandering. I have been hospitalized two times already within three and half months because I was too weak. Besides the eye problem, I can't feel my arms and legs most of the time or they feel extremely heavy as if I had heavy objects attached to them, sometimes my body feels too heavy that I can't even control it, I can't even brush my hair, my teeth, wear my bra or do the house chores. Lifting a baby is even more challenging. I have been using a walker at 26 years every time I walk long distances including in school. It's getting hard to use both eyes at the same time. especially while driving, changing lane, staring at computers and Tvs, or just reading anything. Following the directions of where I am going is very hard and dangerous not just for me, but for the other drivers.
But what I noticed is that, everytime I look to the sun whenever my eye closes, then when I reopen it, I feel a difference unfortunately it only last a few seconds and closed again. I wish I could stare at the sun more often. I also use an eye patch which is hard to stand since my right eye is not used to work that hard. Also, I can't tell whether I looking straight at someone or something anymore except when I am using a mirror.
People make fun of my eyes and I have lost a boyfriend due to that. I run away for taking pictures because of the way they look meaning wandering, pale and red. I also look about 10 years older than I am which is weird not to mention the acnes I am suffering from due to the use of steroids which I don't find effective. My eyelids are also droopy.
I am currently on IVIG infusions which I also don't find effective. This situation is tiring, I can't control. It's been years since it all started and over a year since I was diagnosed with MG. I am sick of this situation.
Could my condition be related to something you know or perhaps to the condition you're talking about in the video?
Please let me know if you have an idea or a suggestion in something we should be looking into.
Hi Doctor, i have the same problem, few days back i went to market the weather were dusty after that i came back home and get showered, but at night my right eye start getting reddish, first i thought i am sleepless, so that night next morning my eye is full reddish with light pain, i visit doctor and he gave me two drops (Tobramycin 0.3% , Fluorometholone 0.1%, and (polyfac) Sterile) with three days of uses my eye is still the same reddish. note that my vision is ok just irritates from light and water eyes. Please tell me what to do?
How are you now ?? What did doc say?
@@AARIKA135
yes within 3 days my eyes back to normal, and i am writing down the drops name , you can use 1 drop after 3 hours, and use tissue for clean, and if you're cleaning your infected eyes, don't use that tissue on your other eyes, this is very important, don't touch your hand to your infected eyes, just wipe it with tissues.
medicine are :
FML Forte (Fluorometholon) 0.25%
Moxigan (Moxifloxacin) 0.5%
use 1 drop after 3 hours, and use other drop after 10 minutes,
Hi Dr. Porter, for the last 3 weeks we thought our daughter had pink eye and when we were finally refered to an eye Dr. we found out she has iritis. They said her pediatrician may contact us if he feels it's necessary for her to be tested for a number of diseases. We have a follow up with her eye Dr. next week. Is the tests something I should push for if I don't hear from her pediatrician? I'm a nervous wreck especially after hearing from a retired eye Dr at my work that children almost always have a disease if they have iritis. Thank you
+Mallory Stone Blood tests and further workup can be helpful at times to try to determine the cause of an episode of iritis. Other times, the tests come back negative and we don't now exactly why the iritis occurred. I would ask her eye doctor and pediatrician the value of the tests to help you guys decide what would be best next. I hope she improves!
Hello the eye doctor said I have inflammation in my right eye, he gave me eye drops, it stop but one month later came again and cleared again. Does it ever go away for good?
Hi Dr.
I had Laser glaucoma surgery 3 weeks ago on my Rt eye And it’s
still Red. I’ve been on the Pred Forte eye drops for inflation for 3 weeks 4 times a day. The first few days after surgery it was every two hours. Now for the past four Days they reduced it to 3 times a day every 6 hours. My eyes has shown no Improvement. Is this Normal after Laser glaucoma Surgery and what can I expect? Is it a Chronic issue in your opinion?
Wow... thank you so much for this information!
I have iRitis because I have ulcerative colitis. I have been prescribed by using FML 0.1 ml 3 times a day and a normal eye drops 5 times for 2 weeks but after 3 weeks it came back again ! Now I’m using the same thing but it seems it’s coming back after I stop. I feel it’s worsen when I’m using my phone. Is stopping using computers and phone helps ? I don’t know what to do as my doctor worried me if I use FML drops again ! Is 3 times fml enough ? I’m thinking maybe if I use more for 2 weeks it will help more Plz help
My eye become red too easily in swimming pools, even if I close my eyes the chlorine still gets in, while my family never get red eyes
I have had Iritis all my life.It is heriditary in my family. We have all been diagnosed with having the same blood type, HLA-B27.which might be the main factor. And stress seems to be a trigger for it too.
did you lose vision ?
I was recently diagnosed with iritis and the eye doctor prescribed what I've read,and you also stated, is the norm; steroid drops..these drops are very expensive and it will be a few days until I can pick them up which I most certainly will do because I don't want my eyesight permanently affected..is there anything herbal or over the counter or otherwise that I can get that will help with the discompfort\symptoms\damaging affects until I can get the prescriptions?..the video was very helpful and eased some of my anxiety so thank you for this resource! And thank you just overall!!
Daniel Sabrowski Glad you found the video helpful! I don't know of any over the counter drops or meds that may be able to help. Using sunglasses or avoiding light may help some with the light sensitivity, but you may have already found that on your own. I hope it improves soon for you! Often the steroid drops make a big difference in comfort in the first few days.
Thanks doctor for video. What If it is happening to the small child of 4 years of age, when hit by other kid with elbow while playing??
My 20yr old daughter have suffered from light sensitivity most of her life, and wear a very strong eye glass prescription. I have had many test done to figure out why she would have such poor vision, considering the way we eat. What I have discovered on my own is the fact that she does not digest her food well, which is the cause of all of her digestion problems. Three gastro doctors later with no help other than to take Miralax the rest of her life for her chronic constipation, I'm on my way to figuring some of her health problems out. She have to take a digestive enzyme, along with HCL to help with her digestion. She have now gone from looking pregnant and bloated to looking and feeling so much better after she eats. I also realize that because she was always tired that her B vitamins were low. ( probably because of the poor digestion) She now take a B complex(garden of life) along with a couple of individual B vitamins such as B5 which helps with constipation, and vitamin B2 which helps with light sensitivity. We have only been doing this a couple of month, but the results are very good so far. She still need help with the constipation which she was born with, but it is getting better. She almost never gets car sick which used to be a big issue., Although her eyes are still sensitive to light it's getting better. We're hopping for a total cure. I never received any of this information from the countless doctors we have visited seeking answers, so thank god for DR. Internet. .
+mica onyx Thanks for sharing your experience with your daughter. I'm glad to hear that she's doing better, and I hope she continues to improve!
Get her tested for food allergies which could be the root cause of chronic digestion problems that triggers other illnesses
I have reiters syndrome and I've been diagnosed with this Iritis. ive been taking drops for a couple weeks now and I've had the Iritis for about 3. from what I've been told their is water trapped in my lens which causes the bluriness but is this accurate? I'm scared I might go blind because I'm not seeing any improvement in my vision. how long does it normally take for my vision to return if I'm on the drops?
Most of the time, once iritis is controlled, it does not affect vision, but iritis can contribute to cataracts or other eye problems that can continue to affect vision even if the iritis is controlled. If there are changes in the lens of the eye it could be cataract formation that continues to affect vision. Hope you're doing better.
Hi, I am a 50 yo female; I was given a dx Iridocyclitis Primary in 2014 followed 5mos later by a ER visit and hospitalization with a dx colitis, diverticulitis resulting in sigmoid fistula .....My question....could my bowel issue have been a contributing factor in my bout with iritis as it is considered a inflammatory disease?

Possibly.

Are ICaps used to treat eye inflammation?
I've been diagnosed with iritis on my left eye. First I thought I had scratched my cornea given that I'm notorious for this given I also have keratoconus. I've seen two doctors and one couldn't really explain how I got iritis. The second stated that due to the vessels on my cornea it seems that lack of oxygen (due to the scleral contacts) is possibly causing the irritation to the iris to occur...therefore my question is, if I can't use the contact (that maintains my cornea from deforming) what else can be done to avoid keratoconus from getting worse and the health of the iris not be compromised? I'm healthy and don't have RA or any of the other known diseases that can trigger iritis...
Currently, corneal collagen crosslinking appears to the be most effective treatment to prevent the worsening of keratoconus. We have been waiting for FDA approval of the procedure for years, but it is still available here in limited situations. Hopefully you will find a solution to keep the iritis away and still see clearly with keratoconus. Thanks for the question!
I use paint thinners and it has made my eye sensitive to lights,also I see floaters and can,t get no sleep much.What is this?
i don't know, i was diagnosed with a "corneal erosion" and after 2 weeks almost of daily Corneregel and Nettacin, it just got worse, slightly yellowy hint in vision and blurriness. Mind you when i first saw the doc, my vision was perfectly clear and never wore glasses. Now the left eye also seems to start having problems with bright daylight. Also worth mentioning, my top eyelid i noticed was a bit lower for months now, then suddenly from staying a lot in front of the monitor, the right eye got all red, and lacrimated non stop and closed itself, then i went to the doc. Now i can open it but it won't stay up for long... i'm scared.
Are you good now?
Can iritis be caused hereditarily? I've had iritis since i was about 7 (14 now) and I've had to deal with it for a majority of my life, my mother has rheumatoid arthritis which is linked to iritis, and I was wondering if you knew if iritis can be caused hereditarily because of my mum's autoimmune disease. And even though I've had a rough time iritis in the past I'm happy that currently it's relatively dormant, and I'm proud to say that I was awarded for being the smartest student in my grade so at least my education for the ,most part was unaffected
I over wore my contacts which is most likely what caused it??? Very irritated and sensitive to light of any kind! Just trying to figure out what’s going on with my eye?

I have been having issues with eye inflammation that started about two years ago. It has every 6 months or so, and it seems to be triggered by dust or wind irritation. The initial diagnosis was I have a pinguecula, and it could be surfers eye. I also did a number of lab tests. Last month I saw a new eye doctor and she diagnosed iritis. As opposed to treating it with Pred Forte, she recommended Durezol.
At this point, I'm wearing windproof sunglasses, safety glasses or goggles when its windy out. Is wind a common trigger for others?
+Jason Van Horn I haven't heard of wind or dust irritation as a trigger for iritis, but based on your experience, it makes me wonder if this could be related to the problems that you have noticed. I hope it improves for you, thanks for sharing your experience!
Check food allergies and rheumatoid arthritis
@jason - I have dry eyes since 9 years now and yes wind is my biggest killer. Whenever wind blows into my eyes I can’t take it and makes my eyes burn and sting more

*Iritis - eye redness and pain*
Inflammation inside the eye (iritis) can cause light sensitivitiy, redness, and aching of the eye. At times, this can occur spontaneously, or it can be associated with inflammatory diseases.
Fortunately, it can usually be treated with steroids and dilation of the pupil. If you have any questions, please post below.
#eye #iritis #AStateofSight
*****, no it's not normal to get iritis after stopping a drop, especially if you didn't have iritis beforehand. Maybe there could have been something else causing the sensitivity and redness? Glad to hear it's getting better, hope it continues to improve!
Isaac Porter, MD hi please can you help me. My daughter is 8 years old last year in January she had a squint in her eye I thought it was nothing until after 3 months that I took her to the doctors the sent me to a eye hospital straight away when I took her they said that se has lost 40 percent of her eyesight. I was in pieces when they told me that an been so very upset can't belive this was happening to my baby girl. we have been going to the hospital every week to keep a check on what's going on with her eye. the doctors then after a year an a half did a operation as the eye had cateracs. they removed the cateracs but didn't put a lense in as she has to much inflammation in her eye. now after 5 months they have given us some lenses to put in every day for 8 hours. she also has 6 eye drops every day an also to treat the inflammation she is also on methotrexate 17.5 grams per week which is a injection . I'm so worried now her eye is lazy aswell please can you tell me or advise me if you have come through any of this situation or of u can tell me what happends next please thank you

Is it ok to use liquid msm for iritis and prevention of future episodes?
Hello dear the iritis may be cause for sinusitis?
I believe I have Iritis. I knew it wasn't pink eye because there's no "morning crusty eye". This is the 3rd or 4th time I get it. I noticed that I started getting them after I started with CDE *chronic dry eye)... the thing I noticed that will trigger it is when the eye gets very irritated. The first time (happened twice) I accidentally rubbed my eye after cutting jalapenos. It was stinging and the very next day, I woke up with the iritis. This last time was right after I was doing some heavy dusting. Dust must of gotten in my eye and the next day, again woke up with the iritis. My conclusion is... people with CDE get it more often and triggers are harsh irritants. My eye is completely red, itchy, painful like an ache and sensitive to light. It will last about 3-4 days. I have to take some Tylenol to help with the pain because it WILL cause a bad headache.
My left pupil is scarred for a year i’ve been using cyclogl and durezol

+morarji14143 A severe eye injury can definitely cause inflammation inside the eye. Anytime our patients are unsure of their diagnosis or treatment, we encourage them to seek a second opinion. Hope all turns out well for you.
I don't have meds my brown have plet and I hear that 4 Trinity heals my eye I didn't reserve steroids and I popped my eye with eye drops and honey
I am diagnosed to have Anterior Iritis in my right eye a week back. I am 31 and have Ankylosing spondylitis. This is the very first time I diagnosed to have Iritis. I am taking Pred forte almost 8 times a day but not able to see any improvements. My blurry vision has increased a lot with in a week and now My ophthalmologist suggested to take oral steroid tablets of Prednisolone 60 mg once daily in addition to eye drops. Even though the eye pain, secretion of tears and redness has decreased a lot but the blurry vision is increasing day by day. Please let me know how long it usually takes to get rid of blurry vision and is the medication that I am taking is correct to treat Iritis?? Please reply its very scary of loosing vision day to day.
Yes, I was on that medication. It is correct. Are you also using pupil dilating eye drops? There are many different things the doctor van do including eye injections which are painless, just sounds bad bit isn't. I've had them. Best wishes
Are you receiving hospital treatment? Do not rely on a GP.
I got hit with a football in the eye and now the eye is light sensitive and is paining a bit. Just after I got hit, everything appeared blurry. What to do?
I had this once ,doctor said due to stress and hla positive, check gor autoimmune disease came clear but three weeks after that I suffer from vertigo been doctor to doctor no anwers, since all test come out clear,also have stomach issues now,tested for hashimoto's came out clear. ...
Its being 4 months now after conjuction.but still blurness in both the eyes..what to do
Get to hospital
i have been suffering with iritis for 5 or 6 years now and even tried to find out which arthritis i have as i am suffering every few months and lasts for 2 / 3 weeks two types of drops i am putting in my eyes will this be for the rest of my life or am i going to be blind one day like wake up blind and thats it Kev Mazunder 55 years old thanks for ya video
If the drops don't work, the hospital can inject the outer surface of the eye or perform a sub tenon injection. Please see a doctor
I have same symptoms. I was given antibiotics septrine betardron eye drops and prednisolone tab. Yesterday after a week of having my first symptoms. My eyes feels a little bit better but vision is still blur. Does the vision returns back to normal
Yes it does, I've had this thing like 9 times my whole life and with the right treatment ur vision should go back to normal
@@riadvan5862 Hi! How long does the inflammation last for you?
@@Sadaa75 about 8 days
@@riadvan5862 Thanks!
Lol my vision is back lol I'm happy it's 80% now I can see nd read clearly
this seems to correlate with eye strain during times of prolonged use of a computer on the weaker eye. the Dr. says its autoimmune. how do you explain the correlation? overuse of the eye muscle?
When patients with iritis have active inflammation, they could be bothered by eye pain when reading from the muscles inside the eye. If the iritis is not active, computer vision syndrome is a form of dry eyes that can cause irritation and pain. Hope this helps, thanks for the question!
Hi I use to have a sharp pain in my eyes sometimes for a week straight It was so painful to open my eyes I just didn't. I said forget it and laid there. And it was for any light it was red no headaches though. And I still get it from time to time for a day or two any thoughts
Happens to me. Eat local honey ! Use naphcon a drops. Your allergic to something
Thank you for making this video! I found it very helpful!
Im currently beeing treated for Iritis, It started 4 weeks ago in my right eye and I have been treated with cortisone and pupil dialation several times a day since. Yesterday I had an follow up appointment at the hospital and the Doctor saw in the microscope that I have developed Iritis in my left eye aswell. Now Im treating both my eyes. I have done some research online and in my medical books (Im a Nursing Student) and discovered it's not very common to get it in both eyes right? It's not contagious so Im wondering how come I got it im both eye's?
Thanks again for the video!
Annie Olsson Glad you liked the video and found it informative! Iritis could be present in one eye or both. You're right that it is not usually caused by an infectious source, but we can see it in both eyes at the same time or in alternate eyes over time. Sometimes we are able to find a systemic cause of iritis that could make it appear in both eyes, or other times we don't know the cause but it still appears in both eyes.
I hope it improves for you!
Thank you for your reply! I have another appointment on Monday, hopefully it's improved a little by then :)
Annie Olsson Have you had any lab work done? Test positive for HLA-B27? Bilateral and ping ponging Uveitis most often occurs from a HLA-B27 malfunction. I had iritis in both my eyes for a year and a half straight. Pred Forte could not knock it out at all, I went through what felt like 15 bottles and tried every taper method in the book. I had to end up seeing the only Occular Immunologist in British Colombia and I got started on a 2 year Methotrexate regiment. The Methotrexate effectively restarted my immune system and I have been Iritis free for 2 whole years, with 0 cell count in both eyes and 20/20 vision.
Rory Lambert glad to hear you have been doing so well and with good vision! Thanks for sharing your experience.
i am hla-B27 positive and it comes and goes will this eventually make me blind because I have 20/20 now
+Gary Bright Iritis is very unlikely to cause blindness, unless it is very severe, untreated, or leads to other complications. Glad to hear that you have great vision now, hopefully it continues for you!
+joy kit im getting looked into it now im 25 at i feel it so it gotta get it now
Gary Bright how are you now 3 year's later? Was it hard?
When I watch TV the text just shines like around a letter I can see the light around it and also all the lamps seem to be really bright and irritating. I tend to squint but I see nobody else having the need to do that. If i make a small circle with my fingers and look through I can see clearly. I am also experiencing some eye pain from time to time. Any idea what's going on?
+ApplicationBot Hard to guess without checking your eyes. Would be a good idea to have a full eye exam to make sure that there are no serious problems with your eyes.
+Isaac Porter, MD It turned put that it was just me thinking I had problems.....My friend got new glasses and I kept thinking of it and started to think I might need them....my eyes are perfectly fine:) Thanks for the replay tho!
I recently went through cataract surgery in my left eye and everything seemed to be fine two or three days after the surgery but a few days after that I noticed that I was sensitive to light and I also noticed it there seem to be some flaring around light fixtures halos I guess you could call him I haven't really noticed any kind of pain in the eye did have some watering of the eye or tearing but the flaring or sensitivity to light seems to affect my vision intermediate in distance
I have the same symptoms , pls how did you treat it?
This is Uveitis right? And can cause blindness.
is damage done to the eye due to inflammation reversible?
I am suffering from Intermediate UVEITIS and I am losing vision of one eye. I do not know if my eye sight can ever become right.
Waqar Detho did it now, the same thing is happening to me
It hurts
Did u visit s hospital?
@@Secret-sw8ih Yes I am on drugs.
Hopefully , you are fine I have the same problem is your vision come back to normal ?
@@user-lp7xn9tg7o Unfortunately, my lost eye vision cannot be recovered. I am fighting with the disease. I have many surgeries. For e.g. Cataract, XEN Implant, Retina detachment surgery, vitrectomy etc. I am not scaring you. But this disease is all about fighting for your vision.
I'll clarify. I've been diagnosed with iritis today. its my second episode in the last 1.5yrs. both times when it flared up, it correlates with long hours on the computer use. eventhough the doctor says its autoimmune the correlation is there. perhaps an underlying cause is stress or eye strain.
I haven't heard of eyestrain being a trigger for iritis, but like you have noticed, both of your episodes of iritis occurred after using the computer for an extended period of time. I wonder if it could be a trigger for you.
I believe there is a connection to vaccine causing flare up in some people. We have had more in recent years haven't we.
My opinion on this is if its environmental then it would affect both eyes. That makes sense. It's something within the body and could go back to chicken pox. Ie coldsore/shingles.
I’m pretty sure I have this now and I took some ibuprofen it made it stop hurting completely after I took a nap and my eye is no longer sensitive to light but my eye is still very red what should I do 🤷🏽♀️
go and check specialist asap

I'm going through this right now, it's stressing me, I've been in pain for 2 weeks now.
How are you now
@@Interestingtalesforfun I have no pain but it left me with a bit of blurred vision on my 1 eye. I'd suggest you see a doctor straight away if you are experiencing the same problem
I got hit in the eye
I was fine that day but now I can't look at bright things without hurting
I've put cold compromise on the eye and the swelling went down but the eye hurts
+Kristopher Tatum Traumatic iritis can be from inflammation inside the eye following an injury. Hopefully you had a chance to get your eyes checked and are doing better now. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I have got this same problem..can someone advise how to cure this
i bruised my eye the other day but it doesnt have blurry vision just the pain from the light and red eye
Glad to hear that your vision is clear, I hope you heal well!
+Isaac Porter, MD Thanks, it's already starting to heal. Its only just the pain from the light thats bothering me.
LilacTG hey. I have same thing. Did it heal?
Me2......i bruised my left eye a couple of days ago and got no problem seeing but i experience pain when ever i come in contact with bright light and it red

Can gastritis cause this inflammation
Prednisolone
Sir how to cure light sensitivity
Why do I see a reddish tint in my left eye and a blueish tint in my right eye?
is there no any permanent solution of iritis
Depending on the cause of iritis, if there is a related systemic cause, it may be possible to treat that problem.
I'm 13 and got hit with some bamboo and its been hurting like I have Traumatic Iritis but I not for

Make sure you see your eye doctor to ensure everything is OK with your eye. Hope it improves for you!

I have imflammation in my right eye .i cant see .how do i get rid of the inflammation
Intermittent fasting and after you mastered that, do p a 36 hr fasting, once a month, then after you master the 36 hours, try fasting for 48 hrs only once a month..
Can iritis make me go blind? I'm worried muxh
Yes, iritis can lead to severe vision problems, especially if it is uncontrolled or severe. Fortunately, with treatment, we are usually able to restore or maintain vision.
I have uvetis and not getting well since from 2 month,..and my vision also loosing know I HV 6/60 vision..
I hope you are better now?
I hope you can get to hospital.
How I like a comment I haven't I got iritis in my right eye my
Dr wants to do a shot should I let him
Dontae Causey Steroid injections can be used to control iritis or uveitis in some patients. These can be placed in or around the eye. This may be what your doctor is offering.
How painful is it
Dontae Causey Even though the shot is in or around the eye, most patients feel about the same as a shot elsewhere in the body. It can be hard to imagine but most say it is not as bad as it sounds
Did it resolve after you had the shot? My doctor wants to do the same because I've been using the drops and I've had no improvement.
I had a sub tenon injection & didn't feel it at all! They use eye numbing drops first. I s
It was scary for me when i had it for the first time because i was driving at that time
Do u still have this ? I’ve had this for almost 7 weeks and It feel like my right is taking forever to heal up , I havnt been able to go outside for long periods of time without having to cover my eye… just wanted to know if it ever completely went away for you
@@dondatrader5609 Hey there, sorry to hear that and i hope you a well recovery, no i don't have it anymore and I don't know how but it just went away by its own.
but i still get some you could say minor red eye but not as big as the first one
@@ashtefo5871 Glad to hear that 🙏 thank you for responding
I have it due to ankylosing spondylitis.
Yes, that is one of the possible causes. I hope it's controlled for you!
