Iritis
Iritis is inflammation of the iris, the colored part of the eye, and is part of what are called anterior uveitis. It can affect one or both eyes.
Common symptoms:
- Redness and pain in the eye
- Discomfort in light
- Blurred vision or a feeling of heaviness in the eye
When to seek care? Eye pain with redness and light sensitivity warrants prompt attention, since the eye is a sensitive organ.
Which specialist treats it? Although in children the pediatrician may be the first point of contact, evaluation of the eye falls to the ophthalmologist, who examines the internal structures in detail. If these symptoms appear, it is advisable to seek a professional opinion promptly.
