Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease (VKHD) is an autoimmune condition that primarily affects the eyes, leading to inflammation of the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye. It can cause symptoms like blurred vision, light sensitivity, and eye pain. VKHD can also affect other parts of the body, including the skin and nervous system. The immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, often triggered by factors like stress or infection. Early diagnosis and treatment, typically with steroids and immunosuppressants, are essential to prevent vision loss and manage other symptoms effectively.
