Uveitis and Immunology

Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which can lead to pain, redness, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. It can result from infections, autoimmune disorders, or injuries. The immune system plays a key role; it normally protects the body but can mistakenly attack the eye, causing uveitis. Proper diagnosis and treatment, often involving medications to reduce inflammation and manage immune responses, are crucial to prevent vision loss. Early intervention can help maintain eye health and restore vision.
