Abstract

Acute iritis, which is often seen in young adults, may cause red eye, photophobia, and aching discomfort. Many times, the condition can be ameliorated or completely reversed by cautious use of cycloplegic agents and corticosteroids. However, undiagnosed or improperly treated iritis can lead to glaucoma and loss of vision.
