Corticosteroid treatment for Uveitis

Corticosteroid treatment for uveitis involves using medications that reduce inflammation in the eye. Uveitis is an eye condition where the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye, becomes inflamed, causing pain and vision problems. Corticosteroids can be given as eye drops, pills, or injections around the eye to help quickly relieve symptoms and prevent complications. While effective, these medications can have side effects, so doctors closely monitor their use and may adjust dosages as needed to ensure the best outcome for the patient's eye health.
