Well the standard treatment is prednisolone and cortisone eye drops. It might have a viral cause and in that case the common treatment is about (approximately) 0.5% lithium chloride solution eye drops five times a day.

I have had flare-ups of iritis since 1990, and have been treated with countless drops of prednisolone. My latest flare is about 8 months old (waning and waxing); I've used durezol and currently lotemax. I've had cataract surgery in both eyes, due to the drops. (By the way, those little drops of meds cost $60 to $90 for each vial.) This morning I read that allergy medication had been successful for one of your contributors, so I popped a loratadine. I see my eye doctor regularly, but I am open to holistic/homeopathic treatments.
