Inflammation of Posterior Segment

Inflammation of Posterior Segment

Posterior segment inflammation refers to uveitis affecting the retina, choroid, or vitreous. It often results from infections, autoimmune diseases, or trauma, causing blurry vision and floaters. If untreated, it can lead to retinal detachment or permanent vision loss.

Procedure Overview

Detailed Investigations

Identifying the underlying cause through comprehensive diagnostic techniques.

Anti-Inflammatory Treatments

Corticosteroid injections or implants to control inflammation.

Infection Management

Use of antimicrobials or antivirals for underlying infections.

Advanced Imaging

Multi-modal imaging to diagnose and monitor treatment outcomes.
