Uveitis:Know more about this serious eye problem

Our eyes can have multiple complications, some minor one's and some which require regular treatment and monitoring.People generally know about eye diseases,but there is a disease by the name of Uveitis,which is a serious one(can cause even vision loss) but very few in the general public have heard of it.As a matter of fact ,our promoter Dr Rajeev Jain is a Uveitis specialist.
It is a condition in which there is an inflammation in the middle layer of the eye that consists of the blue layer of the eye(Iris), part of the eye which releases transparent liquid(cilary) and vascular layer of the eye( choroid).Its symptoms includes eye pain,redness in the eye,light sensitivity,sudden fall in vision.It generally happens between the age group of 20-50.It's causes include viral, bacterial/fungal infection ,injury to the eye or immunological factors.
Preliminary treatment involves eye drops,steroids(which can have side affects),second stage involves tablets and injections and finally the implants.
The best way to prevent this is to see an eye specialist on the first sign of infection in the eyes.
