Iritis or Uveitis ?

[82ndtrooper]

I've been treated for Iritis and currently am battling yet another out break of the inflammation. This time the Pred-Forte drops and the dialator drops are not working. Bright lights are extremely painful since I cannot get the right eye to dialate with the Cycligel.

I've been tested for Lyme, communicable, ANA, CBC, chem 7, and a whole host of other blood work for the disease, that is if it's a disease that is produced by an autoimmune disorder (Rheumotology)

Synickii have developed and makes the eye harder and harder to dialate with the cyclegel drops. I fear that both the drops are failing to reduce the inflammation and that if left to the current doctors orders that the synikii are going to cause glaucoma.

Any experience with this in the field ? I relize the disclaimers in the stickies for this forum topic, but would like to see if anyone has treated this, or has had experience with alternative methods of treatments.

Would oral Prednisone be a secondary course of action? or should I just opt for an intro ocular injecton ? I'll be seeing an opthamologic disease specialist on Thursday.

If this is an off topic thread, then I relize the need to shut it down.

Thanks in advance for any experiences related to this in the field by any of the 18D's
