Will uveitis cause blindness sooner or later?

It is possible for uveitis to cause blindness, but this occurs in severe cases of uveitis, such as total uveitis, and complications have developed, such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy and retinal detachment, in which case it can cause blindness in the eye. In the case of anterior uveitis or a milder inflammatory condition, it will not affect the vision and the vision can be restored to normal as long as it is treated aggressively. Therefore, if uveitis is present in the eye, it is important to go to the hospital early to improve the examination and give active treatment, only then can we try to avoid damage to vision. For the treatment of uveitis, the two main drugs are glucocorticoids and ciliary muscle paralytics, and if treated in a timely manner, vision can be restored.
