What is iritis?

The human eye is not only used for a wide range of purposes, but also bad living habits can cause eye diseases. For example, iritis can cause vision loss and blurred vision. The best treatment is medication, but a careful examination is required before treatment to understand the condition and develop a suitable treatment plan. So what is iritis?

First, what is iritis? Iritis is an ophthalmic disease. Although this disease does not occur often, it is prone to various complications and is very harmful. The main causes of iritis are long-term inflammation that stimulates chronic attacks of various diseases, as well as weak body resistance and susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections, which can lead to eye inflammation, redness, swelling and pain.

Second, what are the specific dangers of iritis? After understanding its harmfulness, we should take precautions in daily life. The main hazards of iritis include corneal opacity. Due to repeated stimulation of inflammation, the cornea is greatly damaged, the elastic layer folds and the corneal epithelium blisters are itchy, and keratitis causes serious lesions. In the late stage, there may be serious eye diseases such as herpes zoster, and the eyes are worn out.

Third, if iritis is not treated promptly, symptoms such as iris bulging and pupil closure may occur. Adhesions at the back of the iris, local fibrosis and difficulty in pulling them apart can cause pupillary closure, and obstruction of the posterior chamber can cause iris pain.

What is iritis? The above content introduces it. Cataracts and glaucoma are also complications that are easily caused by iritis. Long-term stimulation of iritis leads to changes in the properties of aqueous humor. The inflammatory virus affects the normal physiological metabolism of the lens, causing cortical opacity and cataracts. The continuous increase in blood pressure can easily lead to glaucoma. If iritis is not treated in time, the harm can be very serious. You should pay attention to protecting your eyes and avoid exposing your eyes to the sun. If you suffer from some minor inflammation, you must take medication under the guidance of a doctor to prevent various diseases.
