Iritis Treatment Options: Medications, Laser Therapy & More

The treatment for iritis depends on the underlying cause and may include:

Medications: Eye drops or oral medications may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and control pain. These may include corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or immunosuppressive medications.

Pupil dilation: Eye drops may be used to dilate the pupil, which can help reduce pain and prevent the formation of scar tissue.

Laser therapy: Laser surgery may be recommended to treat certain types of iritis, such as posterior synechiae (adhesions between the iris and the lens).

Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove scar tissue or treat other complications of iritis.

It is important to see an eye doctor if you experience symptoms of iritis, such as eye pain, redness, and blurred vision, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent long-term complications.
