Traumatic iritis and chemical iritis

[Agnes]

Iritis is inflammation of the pigmented inside lining of the eye (uvea), iris, or both.
(See also Overview of Eye Injuries.)
Iritis can develop after blunt eye trauma or a chemical burn, typically within three days. However, iritis can also develop without injury (see Uveitis).
Symptoms may include tearing, redness of the eye, and a painful ache in the eye. Usually people have some blurred vision or pain when exposed to bright light (photophobia).
A doctor bases the diagnosis on the person’s history, symptoms, and the results of a slit-lamp examination.
