Uveitis is an inflammatory eye condition affecting the uvea that can lead to vision loss if untreated. Early diagnosis and prompt care help prevent complications. At Abhishek Nethradhama, patients receive advanced uveitis evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment to control inflammation and protect long-term eye health and vision.

Eye Checkup

What is Uveitis?

Uveitis refers to inflammation inside the eye, primarily affecting the uvea, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. The condition may develop suddenly or gradually and can affect one or both eyes. Uveitis may be associated with infections, autoimmune diseases, eye injuries, or may occur without a known cause.

Without timely treatment, uveitis can lead to complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal damage, and permanent vision impairment.

Types of Uveitis

Uveitis can affect different parts of the eye, and symptoms vary based on the location and severity of inflammation. Identifying the type of uveitis is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Swipe to view complete details
Type of Uveitis Affected Area Common Symptoms
Anterior Uveitis Front part of the eye (iris) Eye redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision
Intermediate Uveitis Middle part of the eye (vitreous) Floaters, blurred vision, mild discomfort
Posterior Uveitis Back of the eye (retina and choroid) Reduced vision, floaters, blind spots
Panuveitis Entire eye Severe inflammation, vision loss, eye pain, floaters

Causes of Uveitis

Uveitis can occur due to various underlying factors, including autoimmune conditions, infections, trauma, or sometimes unknown causes.

Autoimmune Disorders

  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Sarcoidosis

Infections

  • Herpes virus infections
  • Tuberculosis
  • Toxoplasmosis
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
  • Syphilis and other infections

Eye Trauma or Injury

Inflammation may develop after an eye injury, trauma, or surgical procedure.

Idiopathic Uveitis

In many patients, the exact cause remains unknown despite thorough medical evaluation.

Uveitis Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective uveitis management. Our specialists use advanced ophthalmic evaluation and targeted investigations to identify inflammation and its underlying cause.

Detailed Eye Examination

Comprehensive evaluation of eye structures using advanced ophthalmic instruments to assess signs of inflammation.

Slit-Lamp Examination

Helps detect and evaluate inflammation in the anterior segment of the eye with high precision.

Dilated Retina Examination

Allows detailed assessment of the retina, choroid, and optic nerve to detect posterior eye inflammation.

Eye Pressure Measurement

Evaluates intraocular pressure to detect associated glaucoma risk and complications.

Laboratory & Systemic Evaluation

Blood tests and imaging studies may be recommended to identify autoimmune or infectious causes.

Uveitis Treatment Options

Treatment for uveitis is tailored based on the type, severity, and underlying cause of inflammation. The primary goal is to reduce inflammation, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications that may affect vision.

Anti-Inflammatory Eye Drops

Used to reduce inflammation, redness, and discomfort in mild to moderate cases of uveitis.

Corticosteroid Therapy

Steroid eye drops, oral medications, injections, or implants may be used for moderate to severe inflammation control.

Immunomodulatory Therapy

Helps control chronic or autoimmune-related uveitis by regulating the immune response over the long term.

Anti-Infective Treatment

Antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal medications are prescribed when infection is the underlying cause.

Surgical Management

In severe or complicated cases, procedures such as vitrectomy may be required to manage inflammation and preserve vision.
