Uveitis
Uveitis is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea. It is a serious eye condition that can cause permanent loss of vision if not treated promptly. Uveitis can be caused by infection, injury, autoimmune disease, or other medical conditions. Symptoms of uveitis include eye pain, redness, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light. Treatment for uveitis may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and/or intraocular lens replacement. With prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis for uveitis is good. Uveitis is an important eye condition that must be managed to prevent further damage to the eye and potential loss of vision.
