What Is Iritis?
9. Complications
In addition to the symptoms already mentioned, iritis can also lead to further complications in some cases. This makes it especially important to get the condition seen to as soon as a problem is detected. One such problem is cataracts, which is a relatively common condition that is fairly easy to treat.
Another possible complication includes glaucoma. This is high pressure in the eye and it can lead to permanent loss of vision. An irregular pupil is also a possibility, and this can slow down the patient’s natural reflexes to light. Calcium deposits can also be a problem, as can swelling within the retina.
