The uvea is a layer of the eye wall that holds a majority of the eye’s blood vessels. It is found between the sclera, the eye’s white outer coat, and the retina, and is further made up of the iris, ciliary body and choroid.
Uveitis is a range or combination of inflammatory diseases that cause swelling of the uveal tissues. It can extend its effects to the lens, retina, optic nerve, and vitreous humor leading to reduced vision or blindness.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Symptoms” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23d71249|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1639736845026{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#eea616″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” font_size=”medium” css=”.vc_custom_1641016114564{margin-top: -10px !important;}”]The signs, symptoms and characteristics of uveitis may include:[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Eye redness” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5260″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Eye pain” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5179″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Light sensitivity” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5209″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Blurred vision” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5192″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Floating spots” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5277″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Decreased vision” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5293″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Diagnosis” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23d71249|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1639736873555{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#eea616″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” font_size=”medium” css=”.vc_custom_1641016290364{margin-top: -10px !important;}”]An ophthalmologist will examine your eye and take a complete health history.
