Uveitis


When Eye Inflammation Feels Painful, Sudden, or Concerning 

Uveitis can cause eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision; often appearing suddenly. Many patients worry about flare-ups or long-term vision loss. 
Our approach focuses on fast diagnosis, calm reassurance, and long-term inflammation control. 


Symptoms Patients Report:

Eye pain or redness
Light sensitivity
Floaters
Blurred vision
Recurring flare-ups

There are three different types of uveitis, classified by the area of the uvea that is affects:

Anterior Uveitis

Inflammation of just the iris or the iris and ciliary body.

Intermediate Uveitis

Inflammation of the ciliary body.

Posterior Uveitis

Inflammation of the choroid.

Patients with anterior uveitis, the most common type, are often only affected in one eye, and may experience mild to strong pain, redness, light sensitivity and blurred vision. Intermediate and posterior uveitis are usually painless and may cause blurred vision and floaters in both eyes
