Uveitis/Immunology Pathology

Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which can lead to pain, vision changes, and redness. This condition can result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to toxins. In immunology, uveitis reflects how the body's immune system mistakenly attacks eye tissues, thinking they are harmful. It's important to diagnose and treat uveitis promptly, as prolonged inflammation can cause permanent damage to the eye and vision. Treatment often includes medications to reduce inflammation and manage the immune response. Regular follow-ups with an eye specialist are crucial for effective care.
