Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hello Everybody, Could anybody tell me what the symptoms are for Iritis/Conjunctivitis. If you've had trouble with this, what are the warning signs? I've problems with dry eyes for years now. I've had occasional, what my primary care doctor would call, painless migraines. When I have these I see psychodelic colors with no headache. I haven't had those but a handful of times. Last week I had blurred vision in my right eye only, with psychoelic colors in the periphery. A couple of times since then, I've had eyeball pain in my right eye. The pain was fairly severe but probably didn't last more than 30 seconds. Do you think this is anything to be concerned about? Thanks for you help. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi Mark: I had several bouts of iritis. My first time diagnosed my right eye was blood shot (it didn't hurt) and my pcp put me on some eye drops. The next morning my eye was so red and it hurt. I went to the eye doc and they immediatly diagnosed it as iritis and I was put on 2 drops (one was Pred-Forte a cortico steroid). My other flare ups the eye was not red it just hurt. After 3 flare ups of iritis my vision went totally blurry and I was diagnosed with a cataract (caused by the Pred- Forte). I had my cataract removed and my vision is wonderful. I am on Remicade which keeps the iritis in remission.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I used to be on remicaid and it helped my pa so much, remission actually....however i have no veins left for iv's.... this last time in the hospital taught me that.... and to put a port in, would not work due to my immune system =(( So now I'm Raptiva, well was before surgery, I keep passing out since surgery, probly the addison's disease and they won't let me start it back up again until we figure out what's going on... sad... glad it's working for you!!!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Ok...I'm going to just be frank here...it's your eye Honey. If you like your eye, see a doctor. Don't mess around with it. It could also be neurological. All the best. By the way... I got sent to my room for asking my Daddy how to spell psychedelic in the 60's. lol - Betz > > Hello Everybody, > > Could anybody tell me what the symptoms are for Iritis/Conjunctivitis. > If you've had trouble with this, what are the warning signs? > > I've problems with dry eyes for years now.
