Uvea and Ocular Inflammation
Inflammation or swelling in any of the part of the uveal tract is called uveitis. Depending on the location of inflammation, it is called anterior uveitis (iris and ciliary body is involved), intermediate uveitis (ciliary body and the vitreous is involved), posterior uveitis (choroids and retina involved), panuveitisd (all layers of the uveal tract are involved). It can be caused due to infective, autoimmune reactions, traumatic or idiopathic. It usually presents with Redness, intolerance to light, discomfort or pain, floaters and decrease in vision. We at Glocal Health Solutions do a thorough examination and investigation of your eyes to come to a correct diagnosis and treatment. As uveitis may be related to a systemic disease, a cross consultation with a rheumatologist, a pulmonologist or a physician may also be done.
