Corrected data: h11: iritis is an inflammatory condition which is common after intra-ocular surgery, however this is usually mild and does not require any additional interventions beyond the standard post-op regimen.In some cases, the degree of inflammation may be more severe and require extended steroid treatment.Procedural factors including excessive surgical manipulation and the use of pro-inflammatory substances in the eye may have contributed to the event.Mechanical insult to the iris can result in a prolonged or stronger inflammatory response.An exact cause could not be determined as the event could be multifactorial in nature including patient and/or procedure related factors.- should have been included in previous medwatch reports.Claim#: (b)(4).
