What Is Iritis?
10. Treatment
The main aim of treating iritis is to help ensure the patient does not lose their vision. This can mean treating the symptoms caused and the underlying cause of the condition. It is also important to try and help relieve the patient of any pain that they might be experiencing.
Some eyedrops may be used to help the pupil dilate, and this can help reduce pain as well as prevent certain complications. Steroid eyedrops to help reduce inflammation are also sometimes used. Oral medications may also be used in some cases if other methods are not proving to be effective. Surgery for conditions like cataracts may also be deemed necessary in some cases.
