It appears that I am an Iritis Veteran. At Age 45, I have had Iritis for 16 years. Rheumatoid arthritis was a part of the long list of symptoms. I escaped recurrances of Reiters, but iritis has been recurrant for the past 16 years.
Stress definitly is a factor.
Hollidays, pressure at work, etc. Swift changes to Snow or tropical environments can initiate an episode. Wait as long as possible to have cataract surgery. The Iritis gums up the artificial lens,and repeated laser treatments don't help much, and don't last. After several hundred vivits to opthalmalogists during Iritis episodes, I have yet to have me tell me anything new.
