Autoimmune Uveitis

Autoimmune uveitis is an eye condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, causing inflammation. This can lead to symptoms such as redness, pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. It can occur alongside other autoimmune disorders and may be triggered by infections or other factors. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response, aiming to preserve vision and prevent complications. Early diagnosis and management are important to minimize damage to the eye.
