Uveitis

Uveitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye that consists of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. This condition can be caused by infections, autoimmune disorders, or eye injuries, and can lead to eye pain, redness, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light.

Treatment for uveitis typically involves medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and pain, as well as antibiotics or other drugs to treat underlying infections. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove any inflamed tissue or repair damage to the eye.

It is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of uveitis, as untreated inflammation can lead to complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, and vision loss. Regular eye exams can also help detect signs of uveitis and other eye conditions early on.
