Can ankylosing spondylitis causing iritis be cured?

Ankylosing spondylitis secondary to iritis cannot usually be completely cured, but symptoms can be relieved with treatment. Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease, which is generally not cured, so when ankylosing spondylitis disease involves the iris of the eye resulting in iritis, this secondary iritis cannot be cured either. Iritis secondary to ankylosing spondylitis has no clear correlation with ankylosing spondylitis disease activity, and may manifest as redness of the eye, photophobia, and eye pain, which may be relieved by the use of glucocorticosteroid medications, such as prednisone drops and fluticasone drops, and ciliary muscle paralyzing medications, such as atropine drops, as directed by a physician. Drugs need to be used under the guidance of a physician, it is recommended that patients with ankylosing spondylitis secondary to iritis go to the rheumatology and immunology department of a regular hospital for a detailed consultation and treatment as prescribed.
