What is Uveitis
About Uveitis
Uveitis is not a single disease but a clinical spectrum of symptoms and signs caused by a variety of medical conditions. Although it accounts for about 1% of all eye diseases, Uveitis is the cause of 10-15% of blindness and so it must be managed very carefully. Prompt and appropriate treatment is needed to ensure good visual recovery, which is very often achievable. In most cases, a uveitis specialist – an eye doctor with specialist training in diagnosing and managing these diseases, should manage uveitis.
