Hi there, I've had anterior uveitis (iritis) as well and cannot underscore strongly enough what the others have said. AS and eye problems must be taken extremely seriously. The doctor in your ER sounds like a total git. I don't know what the rules are in Australia, but here, if we request a referral to a specialist, it must be given us. I would print off all the information you can find, including discussions here, and take them to your GP to push the issue. You may not have iritis, but the dangers are too great for your doctors to ignore this.

Hugs,

Kat
