Not wise: You should find an ophthalmologist if you have iritis. It is not wise to undergo orthokeratology if there is iritis inside your eye. The discomfort and changes in the eye associated with orthokeratology may mask the iritis and you need to be on treatment if you have active iritis which is best handled by an M.D.

Yes: As long as your iritis is not active, you can consider orthokeratology. Ortho-k is a temporary solution though and can cause issues such as corneal infection, scarring, decreased vision, and other problems. I would recommend getting evaluated for laser eye surgery which permanently fixes the problem.
