Understanding Uveitis: Causes and Risk Factors

Uveitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. The causes of uveitis can vary, with the condition often resulting from an underlying infection, autoimmune disorder, or injury to the eye. In some cases, it may occur without a clear cause, referred to as idiopathic uveitis. Uveitis is commonly associated with systemic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and sarcoidosis, as well as infections such as tuberculosis, herpes, or HIV. Other risk factors include age, as certain types of uveitis are more common in younger adults, and a family history of autoimmune diseases. Individuals with uveitis may experience symptoms such as eye pain, redness, blurred vision, and light sensitivity.

Understanding Uveitis: Causes and Risk Factors

Steroids play a critical role in the treatment of uveitis by reducing inflammation and preventing further damage to the eye.

Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are commonly prescribed to control acute flare-ups of uveitis and provide rapid relief from symptoms like pain, redness, and light sensitivity.
