Deep within the eye lies the uvea, vital for vision. Uveitis, inflammation of the uvea, can lead to complications if untreated. Our specialists diagnose and treat various uveal conditions promptly, ensuring optimal eye health. Types of uveitis include anterior, intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis. Symptoms vary but may include eye redness, pain, sensitivity to light, floaters, and blurred vision. Early detection and management are key to preserving vision and preventing complications.
Uvea problems, commonly referred to as uveitis, involve inflammation of the uvea—the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. This condition can affect one or both eyes and may develop suddenly or gradually. People with uveitis often experience symptoms such as eye redness, pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and the appearance of floaters. Inflammation of the uvea can be caused by autoimmune disorders, infections, injuries, or may sometimes occur without a known cause.
