What’s wrong with uveitis?

Uveitis is a basic inflammation of the uveal tissue due to infection, trauma, autoimmune diseases, etc. Patients may experience conjunctival congestion, blurred vision, eye pain, and other uncomfortable symptoms. The uvea is the middle layer of tissue in the wall of the eye, located between the sclera and the retina, and is rich in blood vessels and pigment, which provide nutrition to the eye. Infection of the uvea by pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and viruses, trauma and autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis can lead to uveitis. People who are immunocompromised, overworked, stressed at work, and nervous are more likely to develop uveitis. Patients with uveitis may experience symptoms such as conjunctival congestion, blurred vision, photophobia, tearing, eye pain, etc., which seriously affects their life and work. It is recommended that patients with uveitis consult a doctor in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
