MY APOLOGIES TO USERS OF THE IRITIS.ORG FORUM

Dear Iritis.org users, Over the weekend the forums on this web site were hacked. It is really sad that there are people in our world that get pleasure from doing this type of act. I have spent the last couple of days trying to get the forum back to normal. The hack took place in the database where a...

I dread going to the dentist because of the same issue. I got a really bad bout of iritis once when they used a high pressure cleaner on my teeth. I won't let them use it anymore.

My eyes also get bloodshot when I brush my teeth so I know something is triggering it.

I couldn't give you any data on smoking and a flare up, but I can tell you that my flare ups get worse if I drink alcohol. My best fix when I get a flareup is to eat really healthy and excersise. It seems if I can control my stress I can control the flareups.

I am almost certain I have had them at the same time as an iritis flare up. I have posted about this...

I would second what Mike says. When I have a bad breakout I always have to take the dialating drops. My pupil always gets stuck. I still have portions of my iris that tore off and can be seen during my routine eye exams. This was cause by not dialating in time. I am a college graduate and experience...

Drug: Acular LS

Is anybody currently using this drug? I went and saw a new eye doctor recently and she prescribed this as a non steroid eye drop.

Has anyone had success with this?

for the contacts since you have already been wearing them I wouldn't see it being a problem. I never wore contacts and tried for the first time and it didn't work for me. I would imagine it is different with every person. As for Lasik I have always been told it isn't a good idea. I would wait and se...
