aloha Janet,
wish i had an answer for you...how many episodes of iritis have you had ?
tapering down the prednisolone is tough, it has to accompany the reduction in inflammation.
the pred can cause both/either glaucoma and/or cataracts( is that a waterfall ? spell check) with prolongued use.
I had iritis probably 25/30 times over a ten year period...none in three years now; BUT i have a residual
persistant amount of inflammatory material in my eye all the time. Shu says this is called 'smoldering inflammation'.
It's like constant pressure and sometimes feels like a cork-screw turning in the eye...op has no answer.
I also have cataracts in both eyes, double vision and focus problems, and little black specs that drift across
the field of vision, called 'floaters'... glad the iritis explosions are gone tho.
The sooner quicker faster harder you put down the iritis the better it is for your eyes...and your well-being.
all the best, good luck.
alohaben
