Uveitis Unveiled: Understanding the Condition

Definition and Causes: Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. This condition can be triggered by various factors, including infections, autoimmune disorders, eye injuries, and certain medications. It can also be associated with systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease.

Symptoms and Diagnosis: Common symptoms include eye redness, pain, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and floaters. Our thorough eye exams, including imaging techniques such as OCT and fluorescein angiography, help diagnose uveitis, determine its underlying cause, and guide appropriate treatment.

Effective Treatment Options: Managing Uveitis

Medications: Treatment typically involves anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids, to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Depending on the cause, additional medications like immunosuppressants or antibiotics may be prescribed.

Eye Drops: Specialized eye drops may be used to reduce inflammation, control pain, and address symptoms such as redness and sensitivity to light.

Systemic Treatment: For cases associated with systemic diseases, oral medications or injections may be required to manage the underlying condition and prevent recurrent episodes of uveitis.

Surgical Intervention: In rare cases where uveitis has caused significant complications or vision loss, surgical options may be considered to address damage or restore eye health.

Innovative Techniques: Precision and Excellence

Advanced Diagnostic Tools: We use cutting-edge technology, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and ultrasonography, to obtain detailed images of the uvea and assess the extent of inflammation, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
