Uveitis

Uveitis is an inflammatory problem in the tissues within the eye. This means inflammation deeper to the surface. 

Depending on the type of uveitis, it may or may not have symptoms. Most patients are symptomatic, and complain of various combinations of discomfort and/or visual problems, developing over days to several months.

Symptoms of discomfort usually develop rapidly and include photophobia (eye pain when exposed to light), pain in the eye, tenderness to touch, and pain when moving the eye or attempting to “focus in”.

Visual symptoms may include foggy or blurry vision, floaters (moving black spots), or distortion of shapes. Visual symptoms may develop at the onset of uveitis or may take several months to be noticed.
