What are the treatments and medications for uveitis

Uveitis needs to be treated for the cause to reduce and control the inflammation. Generally, medications such as glucocorticoids and dilators are available for non-infectious causes, while infectious causes of uveitis require anti-infective treatment. Surgery is also used in some cases. 1. Drug treatment: when non-infectious uveitis, patients can use hormones, pupil dilators and other drugs. Glucocorticoid drugs such as dexamethasone can reduce inflammation to some extent. Ciliary muscle paralyzing agents such as atropine gel can release the spasm of the ciliary muscle and pupil sphincter by dilating the pupil, relieving the symptoms of congestion, edema and pain in the eye. Bacterial causes of uveitis need to apply anti-infective drugs such as tobramycin, ofloxacin and other ophthalmic drugs. 2. Surgery: If uveitis causes complications such as vitreous clouding, retinal detachment or suppurative uveitis, patients can undergo surgery under the guidance of a doctor, such as vitrectomy or removal of the infected part of the vitreous body, but in general, patients with uveitis don’t need to use surgery for treatment. When uveitis occurs, you should consult a doctor in time, follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment, under the guidance of the doctor to use medication, do not self-medication, in order to avoid adverse consequences.
