I rites anyone

[eye2dry]

Hi to all.

My eyes have been great since starting Xiidra back in December.

A week ago my left eye felt like there was a dry spot over the pupil area and
It was tender. I then started in on OTC eye drops thinking Oh No.......it's starting up again.

Last Tuesday night my eye was looking bloodshot, vision blurry and the entire eye hurt.
On Wednesday morning it looked like a blood vessel broke and the pupil appeared smaller
In my left eye. They worked me in ASAP at my eye  diagnosed with iritis...the eye dr said my pain
Was coming from my iris spasming. He put drops in my eye to dilate my iris, said the drops
Will stay in 2 days and relieve pressure. I was RX 1% prednisone drops for my left eye.
Every 4 hours.

It feels and looks better than it did. I am worried b/c 7 years ago my rheumatologist warned me
Of iritis...sclerosis from my RA.

Anyone know of this condition..

Thanks,shelly

I wondered what "I rites" was .. had to open this!!

So .. I know nothing  about iritis. Is it feeling any better now?

Yes.......Iritis...........I can't see worth a darn right now.

Tomorrow/Monday is my recheck and not too much better right now.
