Hello

The condition of Iritis is usually a chronic problem for which you have to keep a watch and get your eye checked at least monthly by an eye specialist. For cystoid macular oedema also, you have to visit a vitre-retinal surgeon. Therefore, you should visit your eye surgeon very regularly as per his advice to prevent any further damage to the eye. Regular followup is very important and necessary.

Regards
