How to judge ankylosing spondylitis iritis

Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease that is relatively common in clinical practice. This disease mainly affects the spine and can also cause various complications. Iritis caused by ankylosing spondylitis is also relatively common and can be diagnosed through some symptoms.

1. The eyes are red, and there is a certain area of ​​bloodshot in the whites of the eyes.

2. There is pain in the eyeball without any stimulation or contact.

3. The eyeballs feel swollen and painful when looking at a place with sufficient sunlight, or when looking at the strong light from a light bulb in the house.

4. Close your eyes, press your eyes lightly with your fingers, and rotate your eyeballs. Your fingers can touch the rotating eyeballs through the eyelids, and you will feel swelling and pain. If the feeling is not obvious, you can press down the eyeballs with a little force with your fingers, and then rotate your eyeballs to feel it.

5. This method may not be suitable for everyone. It is a method discovered by some patients themselves. Sometimes after a period of treatment, the symptoms are alleviated. For example, the eyes are no longer red, there is no obvious pain, and there is no much pain when encountering strong light. They will think that they are completely healed. However, when self-examination is performed using this method, swelling and pain will still appear, indicating that they have not yet completely healed. Another method is to cross your eyes, which will cause the affected eyeball to feel swollen and painful.

6. If you have already suffered from iritis, you must give your eyes a complete rest while taking medication, so that they can recover as soon as possible. Do not look at the computer, TV, or mobile phone, and try not to read paper books. If you are bored, listen to the radio. Iritis has a great impact on the eyes, so prevention is very important.
