Uveitis Service
About 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 uncommon, 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 Hospitals, our Uveitis specialists in Dubai or Abu Dhabi provide expert care for individuals with uveitis. Through a detailed assessment of your eye health, medical history, and systemic risk factors, our specialists tailor treatment plans to your condition to manage inflammation effectively and protect your long-term vision.
Adult cataract
About Cataracts
A cataract is a condition where the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, reducing the amount of light that reaches the retina. This clouding can result in blurred or hazy vision and, in more severe cases, lead to vision impairment or loss of sight. People with cataracts often find that colours appear less vibrant, and everyday activities like reading, driving, or recognising faces become more difficult. Cataracts typically develop slowly over time, and the early stages might not be noticeable until vision problems begin to interfere with daily life.
