Iridocyclitis is usually treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. This condition is generally associated with reduced immune function, decreased physical resistance, fatigue, and other factors that may trigger the disease, leading to symptoms such as eye pain, tearing, decreased vision, and conjunctival congestion. Therefore, early detection and prompt treatment are essential to prevent long-term complications. Treatment typically involves topical corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, along with pupil dilation to prevent posterior synechiae. Adequate rest is also recommended during recovery.
