Pediatric Uveitis

Pediatric uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, affecting children and adolescents. It can cause redness, pain, light sensitivity, and vision changes. Uveitis in kids can result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or other health issues. Early diagnosis and treatment by a pediatric ophthalmologist are crucial to prevent vision loss and complications. Treatment often involves medications like eye drops or systemic medications to reduce inflammation. Ongoing care and monitoring are essential to manage the condition effectively and protect the child's eyesight.
