Uveitis is a disease resulting from inflammation of the uvea, the vascular layer of the eye. For detailed information about the disease, you can visit our Uveitis page.

Symptoms of uveitis include eye pain, redness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and vision loss.

Uveitis is not contagious; however, some infections (e.g., toxoplasmosis) can trigger uveitis.

Uveitis is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination, blood tests, imaging tests (e.g., retinal scanning), and other specific tests conducted by your eye doctor.

Depending on the type of uveitis, steroid treatment may be administered through drops, tablets, or intraocular injections. In cases where the disease progresses, systemic antibiotics may be used.

Yes, uveitis can occur during pregnancy. Hormonal changes and changes in the immune system may increase the risk of uveitis in some women.

Yes, the risk of uveitis increases with age. As age advances, the immune system weakens, and defense mechanisms against eye infections may decrease.

If left untreated, uveitis can lead to vision loss, retinal damage, other eye problems like glaucoma, and even blindness.

Yes, uveitis can occur at any age, including in children. Uveitis in children is often unnoticed and can lead to serious vision loss, so early diagnosis is important.
