Uveitis
Uveitis is a form of eye inflammation. It affects the middle layer of tissue in the eye wall (uvea). Its warning signs include eye redness, pain and blurred vision. The condition can affect one or both eyes, and it can affect people of all ages, even children.
Possible causes of uveitis are infection, injury, or an autoimmune or inflammatory disease. Many times a cause can't be identified.
Uveitis can be serious, leading to permanent vision loss. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications and preserve your vision.
It is commonly associated with other ocular disorders, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, optic nerve damage, cataracts, and, in some cases, a permanent loss of vision.
