Uveitis

Uveitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the uvea, the middle layer of the eye that supplies blood to the retina and iris. It can cause pain, redness, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. Uveitis can affect one or both eyes, and can be a short-term or long-term condition. 

Symptoms

Blurred Vision 

Pain 

Light Sensitivity 

Uveitis can be caused by a number of things, including:

  • Infections from viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites 
  • Autoimmune or inflammatory disorders like sarcoidosis, lupus, or Crohn’s disease 
  • Ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory disease that can cause back pain 
  • Medication side effects 
  • Eye injury or surgery 
  • In rare cases, eye cancer 

Uveitis can lead to vision loss and blindness if left untreated, so it's important to see an eye doctor if you have symptoms. Treatments include:

  • Retinal lasers
  • Intra-vitreal injections
  • Immuno-modulators
  • Steroids
  • Antibiotics and antivirals
  • Implantable devices that slowly release medication
