The uvea is the middle layer of the eye, lying between the outer sclera and the inner retina. It comprises the iris, ciliary body, and choroid, which together play vital roles in controlling light entry, focusing vision, and nourishing the eye. Uveitis, or inflammation of the uvea, can affect any of these components, leading to serious complications if left untreated. Specialized treatment focuses on controlling inflammation, addressing underlying causes, and preventing long-term damage to the eye.
Untreated uveitis can lead to complications, including: Cataracts or clouding of the lens. Increased intraocular pressure (glaucoma). Retinal detachment or scarring. Early intervention minimizes the risk of permanent vision loss.
