What does IRITIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
Inflammation of the iris, the coloured part of the eye.
Iritis is a painful eye condition affecting the ring of pigmented tissue that opens and closes to control how much light reaches the eye. It can cause redness, sensitivity to light and blurred vision, and it sometimes occurs on its own or alongside wider diseases affecting the joints or gut. Left untreated, it can cause scarring inside the eye, so doctors usually treat it quickly with steroid drops. Its name follows a common medical pattern, adding the suffix -itis to mark a condition affecting a specific structure of the body.
