Uveitis is swelling inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. It can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious agents.

 

MEDICATIONS

Inflammatory-reducing medications.

Spasm-controlling medications.

Antibacterial or antiviral medications.

Drugs that affect the immune system or destroy cells.

Surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, which means you will not be required to stay in a hospital following the procedure.

 

SURGERY

Vitrectomy - To diagnose or treat the condition, your eye surgeon may remove a portion of the gel inside your eye, known as the vitreous humour.

Implant - A tiny capsule is put into your eye, slowly releasing steroids to treat your inflammation.
