Chronic iritis can lead to glaucoma or other similar debilitating eye diseases, so yearly eye exams are the minimum, but if there's any evidence of previous iritis you're probably going to be on a 3 or 6 month recall for awhile.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you view it) kids with JIA often have no symptoms of uveitis, whereas most adults will have pretty severe symptoms like light sensitivity and eye pain that make them seek medical help. (2/3)

I actually do!
Juvenile arthritis, like almost every other arthritis with the exception of osteoarthritis, significantly increases your risk of developing inflammation inside of the eye. Typically the ciliary body in the iris, but it can involve any part of the eye that has blood vessels. (1/?)

Don't be afraid to tell your eye doc that things aren't quite right. Most issues are solved by just letting us know what you want better, and then we change lenses accordingly.
There's a little bit of technique to it, but so much of it is just throwing spaghetti at your eyes and seeing what sticks.

It CAN work, if you have really strong eye dominance. Are you sure your Right eye is the dominant one? It doesn't always follow your handedness.

Oh no, I hate monovision. It makes the chart numbers look nice because, sitting in a room with perfect contrast, you read 20/20 both up close and far away, but you get out in the real world and now you're telling eyes that have worked together their entire life that they can't do that anymore.

Trying to reorient a lifetime of morning-of test cramming in preparation for three separate board examinations was, and still is, the hardest thing I've done in my life.

A better Nebraska team lost to a worse UCLA team at home last year.
This is progress even if it doesn't feel like it.
