Though it generally affects either of the eyes at a time, both eyes can also be affected by iritis simultaneously. Often, the causes of this inflammatory eye disease are hard to detect. If left untreated, iritis can also lead to severe loss of vision and even blindness. It is non-contagious and can last for weeks and even months, depending on the severity of the inflammation.
