Fortunately I havent had any permanent vision loss but I have had to deal with some serious temporary vision problems.
The first time I experienced iritis was when I held my corporate finance job. The majority of my day as an ***ociate was looking over portfolio numbers and getting government documentation ready for new accounts. One day I began to experience pain in my right eye. It was subtle. I thought it was merely fatigue from staring at the computer all day but the pain quickly escalated. Soon my vision in that eye became very blurry and my eye was very sensitive to sunlight. I couldnt see very well out of my eye so I went to the ophthalmologist. He diagnosed me with iritis. I was put on a high dose of steroids which included eye drops and an ointment to apply at night to help with the pain and inflammation. The steroid drops needed to go into my eye several times during the day so this meant I had to do this at the office.

I didnt want them to look at me while I was.
