YES, regardless whether you think it is iritis or not....go to doc....where I am in Canada, I can go to my walkin clinic and if it is bad my doc can send me to the nearest opthamologist on call in the emergency dept at the hospital.
Do that please! Iritis is the third leading cause of blindness! And you are right to be scared due to the rapid onset, go get it checked right now!
I have had iritis twice, both times it was not particularily painful, but I do have an aggressive form that needs to be dealt with immediately, you may have the same.
