Ocular Behcet's Disease

Ocular Behçet's Disease is a rare inflammatory condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, particularly affecting the eyes. This disease can cause uveitis, which is the inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. Symptoms may include redness, pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. It often occurs in flare-ups and can lead to serious complications if untreated. Understanding the immune response involved helps in managing symptoms and preventing vision loss, making collaboration between patients and eye specialists essential for effective care.
