Uveitis

If you’ve been experiencing redness, eye pain, or sudden vision changes, you could be dealing with uveitis—a condition that requires specialized care.

What Is Uveitis?

Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye responsible for nourishing critical eye structures. It can affect one or both eyes and may appear suddenly or gradually. If left untreated, uveitis can lead to permanent vision damage, including complications like glaucoma, cataracts, or retinal scarring.

Ask the Right Questions at Your Appointment

Empowered patients make informed decisions. When you meet with your eye doctor, come prepared with these key questions:

  1. What type of uveitis do I have?
  2. What’s the underlying cause?
  3. What uveitis treatment plan do you recommend—and why?
  4. What are the risks or side effects of treatment?
  5. Will this affect my long-term vision?
  6. Should I see a specialist or undergo additional tests?
  7. How frequently should I follow up?
  8. Can this be linked to a broader autoimmune condition?
  9. Are there lifestyle changes I can make to support my eye health?
