Chronic Uveitis

Chronic uveitis is a long-lasting inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye that contains blood vessels and helps supply nutrients to the eye. This condition can cause symptoms like redness, pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. It may result from various causes, including autoimmune diseases, infections, or prior eye injuries. Chronic uveitis can lead to serious complications if not treated properly, such as vision loss. Management typically involves the use of anti-inflammatory medications and possibly other treatments to address the underlying causes and reduce inflammation. Regular follow-ups with an eye specialist are essential.
