Can Iritis In Eye Be Treated With Changes In Diet?

hello! Occasionally I have Iritis in my left eye, I saw a specialist about it and he told me he thinks its something inside of me. I decided to go on a major diet, before my cruise vacation came around. I did very well on my diet, and I lost almost 30lbs in 9 weeks, and noticed my skin was beautiful, my eye problem went away, and I feel great. Its been 3 weeks since I been back from my vacation, and my eating habits is back, but not as bad, but its back, and I m noticing that my eye is starting to feel sore, and right now its very red just like before, so I m thinking its something I m eating, so my plan is to go back to what I was eating before my cruise vacation. Doctor any suggestions?.

Hi and welcome to HCM,
Iritis is an inflammation of the inner eye and in most cases the cause is within the body, but is very difficult to actually pin point. If you think, it is triggered by somthing which you eat, then try to identify that and avoid it in future.
Sometime Iritis occurs in patients who are also having painful joints, specially back pain. What ever the cause, we can only control it and not really 'cure' it.
The good thing is that it is possible that it resolves on its own, over a period of time.
All the best !!!
