In a significant number of cases, no cause for the iritis is found. Blunt trauma to the eye can cause traumatic inflammation of the iris. Nontraumatic iritis is frequently associated with certain diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter syndrome, sarcoidosis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriasis. Infectious causes may include Lyme disease, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, gonorrhea, syphilis, and herpes simplex and herpes zoster viruses.

More Emergency Medicine Resources Back to table of contents 2.03 Iritis (uveitis) Presentation What to do: Perform a complete eye exam, including topical anesthesia if necessary; visual acuity, pupillary reflexes, funduscopy, slit lamp examination of the anterior chamber (including pinhole illumination to bring out cells and flare) and fluorescein staining to detect any corneal lesion. Attempt to ascertain the cause of the iritis (is it generalized from a corneal insult or conjunctivitis, a late sequela of blunt trauma, infectious, or autoimmune?) Explain to the patient the potential severity of the problem: this is no routine conjunctivitis, but a process which can develop into blindness. Arrange for ophthalmologic consultation or followup, and, if acceptable to the consulting ophthalmologist . . . Dilate the pupil and paralyze ciliary accommodation with 1% cyclopentolate (Cyclogyl) drops once, which will not only relieve the pain of the muscle spasm, but will keep the iris away from the lens, where meiosis and inflammation might cause adhesions (posterior synechiae). For a prolonged effect, instill 1 drop of homatropine 5% before discharge. Suppress the inflammation with topical steroids, like 1% prednisolone (Inflamase) drops once;

Iritis Options What is iritis? Iritis is the inflammation of the iris, the coloured portion of the eye. It has been known cause extreme pain, light sensitivity and sight loss, which is often the result of a disease in another part of the body. Most cases of iritis are recurring, in what are small attacks. Once treated the attack will usually respond to various medications. However, the condition may become sight threatening when left untreated. Medication for iritis varies, treatment that works for one will not always work with another. What is the iris? The iris is a circular muscle near the front of the eye. Besides giving colour to the eye, the iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye through the pupil. The iris is located behind the cornea (the clear protective layer of the eye) and just in front of the focusing lens. To see clearly, the proper amount of light must enter the eye. Just as the shutter controls the amount of light that enters a camera, the iris regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. The iris contains two muscles that control the size of the pupil opening. When too much light is present, the muscles cause the pupil to become smaller to reduce excessive light and glare. In dim light or at night, the muscles make the pupil larger to increase the amount of light entering the eye.

A B C D ... W IRITIS How does Iritis occur ? Anterior uveitis/iritis is due to damage within the blood vessels of the iris. This damage is caused by the body's immune defence system which malfunctions. Blood vessels widen and substances from the serum of the blood can leak out. If severe, many cells and large quantities of protein collect in front of the iris. This causes cloudiness of the fluid behind the cornea of the eye. Posterior uveitis arises because of an unusual inflammation or a reaction against an infection in the eye. Cells leak from the choroid blood vessels into the gel of the eye. They can cause clouding of vision. Why does Iritis occur ? Anterior uveitis/iritis is often part of a widespread body illness. Various bacterial and viral infections including forms of gastroenteritis can lead to it. Some patients have ankylosing spondylitis (which is a type of arthritis of the lower back), or another arthritic condition called Reiter's syndrome. Posterior uveitis may occur with many underlying diseases. Sarcoidosis, a chronic widespread inflammation, is often a cause. There is usually some lung involvement. It normally affects younger women, especially of Negro race. Toxoplasmosis is an infection similar to malaria, but the cat is the animal carrier. It is sometimes present at birth or in early life. Other infections such as tuberculosis and are also possible causes. Patients with AIDS typically get a virus (cytomegalovinis CMV) uveitis and retinitis. They are more susceptible to the other infections as well.

In the majority of cases there is no specific cause. Generally, only one eye is affected and the pupil on that side is sometimes smaller. Typically, the eye is not sticky, crusty or producing a discharge Iritis is a potentially serious condition requiring medical attention by an ophthalmologist. Fortunately, it rarely causes blindness but it can affect vision while the inflammation is present. Occasionally, iritis is just one symptom of a disease that affects other organ systems. These are called connective tissue diseases and include: rheumatoid arthritis , sarcoidosis, lupus, scleroderma , Behcet's disease, anklylosing spondylitis , Reiter's disease, Crohn's disease ulcerative colitis , and B-27 disease. Sometimes it is necessary to establish whether iritis /uveitis is a manifestation of one of these or some other underlying systemic disease. Your eye care provider may ask a detailed medical history, and may order a battery of tests including several possible blood tests, a chest X-ray X-rays of the lower back, and a skin test for

Iritis Inflammation of the iris of one or both eyes; if acute, may give rise to Glaucoma , either because white cells produced in response to inflammation build up and block channel which drains fluid from front chamber of eye, or because iris sticks to front of lens, which also prevents drainage of fluid; if long-standing, may give rise to Cataract . Condition mainly affects young adults, but is not at all common; often it is a complication of Rheumatoid arthritis Ankylosing spondylitis , sarcoidosis, or even syphilis (see Sexually transmitted diseases ), but more often it has no obvious cause. Symptoms are redness and discomfort, slight blurring of vision, and sometimes a Headache If symptoms include headache and pain in affected eye, consult your doctor if there is no improvement in 2 hours. Because of the risk of glaucoma, an eye specialist should be seen as soon as possible; steroid drops may be necessary to reduce inflammation and prevent iris sticking to lens, but they do not get to the root of the problem. Iritis tends to be a recurrent constitutional problem, so constitutional treatment from an expert homeopath should be sought. Specific remedies to be taken - hourly for up to 10 doses in acute attack At first signs of inflammation Aconite 30c If back of iris threatens to stick to lens Mercurius corr. 30c

Up cataract glaucoma eyelid spasm ... Floaters Iritis/uveitis Dept of Ophthalmology/Adran Offthalmeg Carmarthenshire NHS Trust What is Iritis? or Anterior uveitis? Anterior Uveitis is the most common form of uveitis, accounting for 75% of cases of Uveitis. It will often be referred to as Iritis as the iris is the part of the uvea that is usually inflammed. (the ciliary body may also be involved and this would be termed iridocyclitis). The iris is the coloured part of the eye which has a hole (the pupil) in the middle of it. The iris is a muscle which dilates the pupil,letting more light into the eye, or constricts it cutting down the amount of light that enters the eye. Behind this is another circular srructure, the ciliary body. This produces the clear fluid which fills the eye, passing through the pupil and draining away near the edge of the iris. It also changes the eye’s focus via muscles attached to the lens. SYMPTOMS Redness of the eye. Pain Photophobia (a need to avoid.bright light) - the iris muscles shrink the pupil size in bright light and this movement in the inflammed iris causes pain. Blurring of vision (if the inflammation is severe).
