Posterior Uveitis

Posterior uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye, specifically affecting the back part. This condition can impact vision by causing swelling and damage to the retina and other vital structures. It often results from infections, autoimmune diseases, or other health issues. Symptoms may include blurred vision, floaters, or blind spots. Diagnosis typically involves eye examinations and imaging. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation and prevent vision loss, often using medications like corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. Early detection and management are crucial for preserving eye health and vision.
