Thanks - throbbing seems to have subsided...

Absolutely paranoid now every time I get any issues in my eye!

So what do people define as the warning signs on top of what is on the site? Is it the red eye + sensitivity or is that already the start of an attack?

Hi - this is very useful here: http://www.iritis.org/blog/signs-of-iritis/ but what are peoples warning signs? My last attack (August 2016) i was very sure I had iritis - red eye and sensitivity to light This morning I woke up and have had a dull throbbing (not acute at all) pain ... this is about 7...

I was in Singapore recently and got a relapse of anterior uveitis and I saw this doctor. He seemed very knowledgeable, very professional and has a clinic with good equipment. I was a bit worried he might have been heavy with the dosage he prescribed (pre forde - 5 drops an hour + an anti biotic also...

Hi - I saw an ophthalmologist and actually he seemed to be quite knowledgeable about uveitis. I have since returned home and gone to an eye hospital (also had to wait until monday) and they said all looks ok. As this is the second bout in 4 months they are running some blood tests plus a chest scan ...

Sorry I should add- the leaflet with the medicine suggested 2 drops an hour as the max loading dose hence the paranoia as over use of steroids can have their own complications.

Thanks Vancouver - I actually called him about 5 hours after and he suggested I could drop to 1 an hour. I am now back home and I spoke to a doctor and based on that I have dropped to every 4 hours (which matches the regime I was on once before). And I have dropped the anti biotic. Not sure who is r...

Hi Vancouver (and others) - thank you so much for your help/advice. My condition worsened last night but luckily I finally got to see an opthamlaogist today at about 11:45/12 todat (I got an appointment for 11 am so thought I would wait it out overnight- he was unavoidably detained but very good whe...

Just to reply to vancouver - I am not sure what 'synechiae ' is but last time I had two drops - one to dialate (and made my vision very blurry) and the other was the steroid I stopped using the former much sooner than anticipated (as recommended by my doctor) - i.e. less than the total I was prescri...

So having almost cleared up yesterday - this morning my eye was mildly aching and looks a little red. And as the day has progressed the mild pain has been sustained and it is very sensitive to light - almost as soon as I step outside it waters a lot. I am struggling to be able to get an appointment ...

Hi thanks for the tips both. It was fine yesterday slight redness but my vision seemed ok. Last night my eye felt like it had built up a lot of mucus (is that the correct term) and this morning there is no pain or sensitivity to bright light but my vision in one eye is a little blurred. And the eye ...

I had my first ever iritis back five months ago and then yesterday was worried I had it again as lots of the same early symptoms. Slightly painful eye and very sensitive to light (and triggering the pain). All very stressful as I am due to fly long haul right now - but have been putting lots of dry ...
