I've had two diagnosed bouts of iritis. This past one stopped after only six weeks, thank goodness. The first one back in 1991/92 lasted 18 months, leap frogged eyes, share space with conjunctivitis. It was horrible.
I suspect I may have had it when I was 18, but never was taken to the doctor for it. My folks assumed that my eyes were hyper sensitive to light as I was wearing photogrey lenses in my glasses at the time. Went on for the better part of a year.
Hugs,
Kat

Yes...don't remember how many times. I'm still on PredForte four times a day for the most recent bout. It was an opthalmologist who first suggested that I might have AS, way back in 1985. Gee, I think it's been almost exactly 20 years since I was diagnosed--pretty sure it was June of '85 when I first went to the rheumatologist.

Yes, active iritis right now. Have had it for as long as I have had A.S.

I haven't had it yet either and I hope I never do.
It was in the last week or so that I had one large blood spot around the edge of my pupil. I had no idea why it had appeared and I was curious about it.
It went away so I haven't been worrying about it.
