I think I may have heard someone call it iritis but I am not sure. I only know I had it one time and that was before I was even diagnosed with PA. At that time I was still trying to find out what was wrong with me and they kept days OA. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In psoriasis it can be sight threatening. Serious eye involvement requires Corticosteroids being INJECTED into the eye itself! I guess that is a little price to pay for ones sight!
