Hi there,
Any suggestions for treating persistent Iritis? This is my fourth bout of it since the spring. The opthamologist has been great about seeing me as needed, and I know there have been times when it has been "quiet", but it always comes back within a few weeks of being weaned off the Predforte drops (I also use Maxidex (sp?) ointment), and he weans me off *very* slowly. I hate the thought of continuously using pred. drops.
These days I get blurry central vision in my left eye (I usually get Iritis in both eyes), which worries me a bit because my grandmother lost her sight when she was in her 30s (I am 42). I was told that she had Retinitis Pigmentosa, but I'm starting to question that as she had a bit of peripheral vision and I thought RP caused tunnel vision and destroyed your peripheral vision.
Can't tell you enough how much I love this group! What a fantastic bunch of people!!!
