Infectious Uveitis

Infectious uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, caused by infections from bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. This condition can lead to symptoms like redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and, if not treated, may result in serious vision problems. It often occurs as a response to infections either in the eye itself or in other parts of the body. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and address the underlying infection. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to preserving vision and overall eye health.
