Yes, went to eye doc, but all is fine they said. I have to use drops for dryeyes now.

Yes and it’s very painful. Try a cool washcloth on your eyes. That helps a little.

I have frequent uveitis. What I have learned is that you have to try and manage your stress, stay away from foods that cause inflammation and take your medicine if you have treatment options. During your uveitis flare up rest, try to stay out of the sun if you do please wear sun glasses. Try to stay off of your phone, computers/ tablet and tv anything that has a blue lighting

I was just checked by my optometrist because been having blurry vision with my flare he said it was not but I do need to watch for it and if I get it I will know because I will have a lot of pain! Sounds like it can come and go though hope yours is gone.
