I suffer with ulcerative proctitis & when in flare I also get inflammation in my eyes, blurry vision, eye pain, light sensitivity. Ive been to doctors they prescribe me a one off eye drop and send me away can someone help me please what else could i do 🙁

  1. Hi . It is more than understandable that these eye issues would be stressful, especially if you feel your concerns aren't being heard. You are not alone with this problem. Stephanie wrote here about her experience with IBD related eye issues and the treatment that helped her: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/ibd-impact-eyes-iritis-uveitis. Hoping you can get some relied soon and please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask additional questions. Best, Richard (Team Member)

    1. Hi Richard,

      After calling 111 & calling hospital & my GP numerous times I managed to get a hospital appointment for October to get my eyes checked for the 5th time! I really do hope this doctor is a eye specialist this time..I feel slightly relieved to finally to be getting somewhere, thankyou for your swift reply and I will be checking stephanies post. It feels good to speak to people that is also going through the same thing and hearing other peoples story.
