Iritis question - can an iris that has adhered to the lens be removed and put back to normal?

Consider medication : Dilating drops can often be used pull the iris strands from the anterior lens capsule.Underlying inflammation must first be under control.

In some cases: Sometimes drops to dilate or shrink the pupil can be used to break these adhesions. They can be broken surgically but this is rarely done. Discuss this with your ophthalmologist.
