What Is Iritis?
8. Risk Factors
Nobody is completely safe from developing iritis. It can happen even in the healthiest of people, but some people are more prone to developing it than others are. This can mean people with certain medical conditions, while it can also mean people that take part in certain activities.
As mentioned, some people with certain genetic conditions and/or certain autoimmune conditions are at a higher risk of developing iritis, as are those with certain infectious diseases. A weakened immune system can also increase a person’s risk, and studies have shown that people who smoke regularly are also more likely to develop iritis.
