MY SON WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH IRITIS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, IS ALSO AWAY AT SCHOOL (AGE 22). FOUND OUT IT IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS AND THEY CAN LOSE THEIR EYE SIGHT. NEDDS A BLOOD TEST HLA-B27, GENETIC DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH ANKYHLOSING SPONDYLOSIS. MAKE SURE HE SEES A REPUTABLE OPHTHALMOLOGIST IMMEDIATELY!!! NEEDS TO BE PUT ON DILATING DROPS AND STEROIDS AND CAN SPREAD TO THE OTHER EYE. LOOK UNDER THE NET AT UVEITIS OR ANKYLOSING SPONDYLOSIS
