What is Retina & Uveitis?
Retina and uveitis conditions refer to disorders affecting the inner layers of the eye. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that is crucial for vision, while uveitis involves inflammation of the uveal tract, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. These conditions can impact vision significantly and require specialized care to manage effectively.
Causes of Uveitis
Uveitis, which is inflammation of the uveal tract in the eye, can be caused by various factors, including:
- Infections: Bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
- Injuries: Trauma or physical damage to the eye.
- Systemic Diseases: Diseases like sarcoidosis or Behçet’s disease.
- Idiopathic: Sometimes, the cause of uveitis is unknown.
Each cause requires specific treatment approaches to manage the inflammation and preserve vision.
