What Is Uveitis? – Understanding Eye Inflammation

Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea—the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It can affect one or both eyes and may come on suddenly or develop gradually. If not diagnosed and treated early, uveitis can lead to serious complications like glaucoma, cataract, or permanent vision loss.

🔍 Types of Uveitis:

Anterior Uveitis: Affects the front part of the eye (iris); most common type.
Intermediate Uveitis: Inflammation in the vitreous and ciliary body.
Posterior Uveitis: Involves the retina and choroid; may cause floaters or blurred vision.
Panuveitis: Severe inflammation involving all parts of the uvea.

Symptoms & Causes of Uveitis

Uveitis can present in different ways depending on the part of the eye involved. Early recognition of symptoms and identifying the cause is crucial for effective treatment. Dr. Saurabh Deshmukh specializes in accurate diagnosis and tailored management plans for each patient.

🔴 Common Symptoms of Uveitis:

Redness of the eye
Eye pain or discomfort
Blurred or cloudy vision
Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
Floaters (moving spots in vision)
Decreased or distorted vision

⚠️ Causes & Risk Factors:

Autoimmune conditions: such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or ankylosing spondylitis
Infections: like tuberculosis, herpes, toxoplasmosis
Post-surgical or post-traumatic inflammation
Idiopathic (unknown cause): in many cases, no specific cause is found

How Is Uveitis Diagnosed and Treated?

Diagnosing uveitis requires a detailed eye examination and often systemic investigations to identify the underlying cause. Dr. Saurabh Deshmukh uses advanced diagnostic tools including slit-lamp examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, and blood tests to provide accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment.

🧪 Diagnostic Approach:

- Slit-lamp eye examination
- Dilated retina exam
- OCT imaging for macular swelling
- Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA)
- Blood investigations for systemic causes
- Chest X-ray or Mantoux test (if tuberculosis suspected)

💊 Treatment Options:

- Steroid eye drops (for anterior uveitis)
- Oral or injectable steroids (for intermediate/posterior uveitis)
- Immunosuppressive medications (in autoimmune cases)
- Antibiotics or antivirals (for infectious uveitis)
- Intravitreal injections or implants (for recurrent/vision-threatening cases)
- Surgical intervention (if complications like cataract or glaucoma develop)
