Uveitis is inflammation of the uveal layer. This is the middle layer of the three that make up the eye. Their are several different forms of Uveitis. These forms can affect the retina, iris and in extreme conditions can affect the optic nerve. Uveitis can be caused by a multitude of conditions. These include: eye surgery, eye cancer and possibly a side effect of an underlying condition. Uveitis could be indicated by blurred vision, pain in the eyes and red eyes. Eye drops are a treatment option for Uveitis, but are not always successful if they don't penetrate to the back of the eye. Injections to the eye, oral medications and even surgical procedures are ways to combat Uveitis. Uveitis can be treated in a couple months in mild conditions. However, in severe cases, the Uveitis can last quite a while.
