Hi,
I hope your appointment went ok.
Just my two penneth on the reaction to light. I have had many iritis attacks mostly in my left eye and I experienced all the symptoms already described to varying degrees. I did find that the photophobia was not so bad with subsequent attacks. Maybe it was because I became good at spotting the signs and I would don dark glasses which helped immensely and treat it quickly. For me after my first two attacks it was the pain around my eye socket especially above my eye and left side of my head (sore) that were my warning signs and if it got that far haloes around light.
