Uveitis and Ocular Inflammation
Uveitis is inflammation inside your eye. Uveitis can cause problems like pain, redness, and vision loss. Uveitis can damage the part of the eye called the uvea, but it often affects other parts of the eye, too. Sometimes uveitis goes away quickly, but it can come back. And sometimes, it is a chronic condition. It can affect one eye or both eyes. Treatment of uveitis requires expertise in the use of immune-modulating and immunosuppressive medications.
