Iritis is a form of anterior uveitis and refers to the inflammation of the iris of the eye.
There are two main types of iritis, which are called acute iritis and chronic iritis. Acute iritis is a type of iritis that can heal independantly within a few weeks. If treatment is provided, acute iritis improves quickly. Chronic iritis can exist for months or years before recovery occurs. Chronic iritis does not respond to treatment as well as acute iritis does. Chronic iritis is also accompanied by a higher risk of serious visual impairment.
