new, need advice on uvitis

[Guest guest]

my experience with uveitis is this: onset of symptoms, see opthalmologist asap,

prescribe predforte a number of times per day for a week (usually every two

hours while awake), taper the drops off slightly for a second, third and fourth

weeks, then back for a recheck. depending on severity, homatropine will be

prescribed to dilate the pupil as well. a couple of days is usually not enough

to stop the inflammation and if the drops are not taken over a longer period,

then the inflammation can easily come back again and very quickly. the whole

treatment regimen takes about a month from start to finish. however that can

vary between patients of course.

this has always worked for me. good luck. james
