About Iritis

• Two types of iritis can occur: acute and chronic. Acute iritis can heal on its own in a few weeks or even quicker when treated with medication. Chronic iritis can last as long as months or years before it goes away. It can also lead to a higher risk of visual impairment.

Symptoms

• Iritis can be caused by many things. Trauma to the eye as well as some disorders may lead to iritis. Symptoms of iritis can vary. Noticeable signs of this condition are sensitivity to light, pain in the eye, blurry vision, red eye, gray or white haziness, tearing, pain and/or motion sickness.

Treatments

  If light makes your eye pain worse, wear dark glasses to alleviate the pain. You can also apply a hot pack to the area in order to relieve some of the symptoms. Tylenol or Ibuprofen may also help lessen the pain and discomfort. Drink ginger tea to help reduce the inflammation.

  As with all conditions, visit a doctor if your symptoms become worse.
