Understanding Uveitis: Symptoms, Causes, and Advanced Treatment
“Sudden eye pain, blurred vision, or redness could be more than just eye strain – it could be UVEITIS. Early diagnosis can save your vision.”
What is Uveitis?
Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea – the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It can affect one or both eyes and may develop suddenly or gradually. Left untreated, uveitis can cause permanent vision loss.
It’s not just a rare condition – we see cases of uveitis regularly in Varanasi and nearby areas. Many patients ignore early signs thinking it’s a simple eye irritation, but timely intervention is crucial.
Common Symptoms of Uveitis
Uveitis may show up with subtle or intense symptoms. You should visit an eye specialist if you experience:
- Redness of the eye
- Pain in or around the eye
- Blurred or cloudy vision
- Light sensitivity (photophobia)
- Floaters (dark spots or squiggles in your vision)
- Sudden decrease in vision
These symptoms can appear in people of all ages and are often confused with conjunctivitis or general fatigue — which delays proper diagnosis.
What Causes Uveitis?
Uveitis is often linked with autoimmune disorders but can also be caused by:
- Infections like tuberculosis, herpes, toxoplasmosis
- Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis
- Eye trauma or injury
- Post-surgical inflammation
- Sometimes, the cause remains idiopathic (unknown)
Understanding the root cause is essential for effective treatment — which is why expert diagnosis is key.
