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. It can affect one or both eyes and can be acute or chronic. Symptoms of uveitis may include eye redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and floaters.
Inflammatory eye diseases encompass a broader category of conditions involving inflammation within the eye. This can include not only uveitis but also conditions like scleritis (inflammation of the sclera, the white outer coating of the eye), keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), and others.
These conditions can have various causes, including autoimmune diseases, infections, trauma, or exposure to toxins. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause of inflammation and may include medications such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or antibiotics, depending on the specific condition and its severity. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and preserve vision.
