Uveitis
What is Uveitis?
Uveitis refers to inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. This layer plays a vital role in supplying blood to the eye. Uveitis can affect people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults and may present with a range of symptoms depending on the underlying cause.
Although uveitis is not very common, it accounts for an estimated 10–15% of blindness cases, making early diagnosis and careful management essential. With timely and appropriate treatment, many individuals with uveitis can maintain good vision. Due to its complexity, uveitis is best managed by an ophthalmologist with expertise in ocular inflammatory diseases.
At Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai or Abu Dhabi, our specialists in ocular inflammatory conditions provide expert care for individuals with uveitis. Through a detailed assessment of your eye health, medical history, and systemic risk factors, we will recommend a tailored treatment plan to manage inflammation effectively and protect your long-term vision.
