[…] Methotrexate (MTX) has been used to treat chronic anterior, intermediate, or posterior uveitis, but its potential therapeutic benefit in the prevention of AAU flare-ups is unknown. […] Our objective was to evaluate the 1-year efficacy of MTX in the prevention of AAU recurrence. […] MTX treatment seems to reduce the number of flare-ups in patients with recurrent AAU.

  Iritis, as seen in this patient, is a common form of anterior uveitis that can cause long-term debilitation, synechiae and secondary glaucoma, if left untreated. […] The goals of iritis treatment are to minimize permanent structural alterations of aqueous outflow and prevent optic nerve damage. […] To produce a good visual outcome, treat iritis aggressively with corticosteroids. […] Once you have ruled out a keratouveitis, begin aggressive dosing of corticosteroids at least q1h to q2h. […] Remember, passively-treated, low-grade iritis is the most common cause of secondary glaucoma in uveitis patients. […] New, potent steroids, such as Durezol, and safer, long-term medications, such as Lotemax, will help you treat iritis with greater efficacy. Additionally, if you differentiate keratouveitis, check IOP, rule out endophthalmitis, look for a systemic cause, treat aggressively and reestablish the blood-aqueous barrier, you will be in an excellent position to manage iritis more effectively in clinical practice.

  https://www.healio.com/news/optometry/20120225/steroids-cycloplegics-most-commonly-recommended-for-treating-iritis

  Paul C. Ajamian, OD: I equate treating anterior uveitis with fighting a fire. […] Managing the pupil is critical, and most clinicians dont use strong enough dilating agents to either prevent or break synechiae. […] While cycloplegics are an important component to resolving anterior uveitis, they are rarely sufficient to resolve the issue on their own. Topical steroids are needed to control the immune systems cellular inflammatory cascade. […] As long as the symptoms are resolving and the anterior chamber is clear, I like to finish with the cycloplegics a few days prior to the end of the steroid. […] The generally accepted treatment for iritis of a systemic or suspected viral nature is a cycloplegic to dilate the pupil, forcing the blood out of the iris and paralyzing the ciliary muscle, thereby reducing ciliary spasms, which cause pain and photophobia. Topical steroid drops, which readily penetrate into the anterior chamber, begin to cause the inflammation to subside.

  https://www.gponline.com/diagnosis-treatment-iritis/ophthalmology/ophthalmology/article/829741

  Iritis is common at all ages but it does respond well to topical steroids and cycloplegics, writes Ms Gilli Vafidis. […] The principles of treatment are to reduce the inflammatory response with topical steroids, such as dexamethasone 0.1% drops 2-4 hourly; to prevent iris adhesion to anterior lens with cycloplegics such as cyclopentolate 1% drops once daily; and to treat the underlying cause if known. […] Promptly treated, even recurrent iritis has a good visual prognosis. However, if inflammation is not controlled cataract, glaucoma and degenerative corneal change (band keratopathy) occur as a complication of prolonged intraocular inflammation. […] Therefore it is unwise to treat iritis with topical steroids without initial slit lamp examination and subsequent follow up of the treatment response and possible co-morbidities. […] Iritis may present at any age, occurring in genetically-predisposed individuals, often with no apparent systemic association, a good response to topical steroids and no long-term sequelae.
