What is Uveitis?<\/h2>\n

Uveitis<\/a> is a medical term used to describe inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye located between the sclera (the white of the eye) and the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye). This layer includes three important parts: the iris (the colored part of the eye), the ciliary body (which produces the fluid in the eye and helps control focusing), and the choroid (which contains blood vessels that nourish the retina). Uveitis can affect one or both eyes and can occur at any age, although it is more commonly seen in individuals between the ages of 20 and 60.<\/p>\n

\"Uveitis\"<\/p>\n

When someone has uveitis, it means that some or all parts of the uvea are inflamed, and this inflammation can spread to other parts of the eye, including the lens, retina, optic nerve, and vitreous. This inflammation can lead to serious complications, including vision loss if not properly treated. Depending on the location of the inflammation within the eye, uveitis is classified into four main types: anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, and panuveitis.<\/p>\n

Types of Uveitis<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Anterior Uveitis<\/strong>: This is the most common form and involves inflammation of the iris and the front part of the ciliary body. It is sometimes referred to as iritis. Anterior uveitis can develop suddenly and typically causes eye redness, pain, sensitivity to light (photophobia), and blurred vision.<\/li>\n
  2. Intermediate Uveitis<\/strong>: This affects the vitreous and the peripheral retina. Symptoms may include floaters (dark spots or lines in the vision) and blurred vision. Unlike anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis may not cause redness or pain.<\/li>\n
  3. Posterior Uveitis<\/strong>: This form affects the choroid and the retina at the back of the eye. It is less common but more serious than anterior uveitis. Symptoms often include decreased vision and floaters. It may be caused by infections or systemic inflammatory diseases.<\/li>\n
  4. Panuveitis<\/strong>: This is when all layers of the uvea are inflamed. Panuveitis can cause a combination of symptoms from all the other types and may significantly impair vision.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Causes of Uveitis<\/h3>\n

    Uveitis can be caused by a wide variety of factors. In some cases, the exact cause is never determined. However, known causes include:<\/p>\n
