Serious inflammatory condition that affects the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. Uveitis can cause significant discomfort and, if left untreated, may lead to complications like glaucoma, cataracts, or even permanent vision loss. The condition is often associated with autoimmune disorders, infections, or injuries, but in some cases, the exact cause remains unknown. With our team of highly experienced ophthalmologists, known as the best eye specialists in Vadodara, we provide comprehensive care to manage this complex eye condition and protect your vision.
Uveitis is classified into different types based on the part of the uvea affected, anterior uveitis, which is the most common and affects the front part of the uvea, intermediate uveitis, affecting the vitreous and peripheral retina; posterior uveitis, impacting the retina and choroid at the back of the eye; and panuveitis, which involves inflammation throughout the uvea. At Radhe Eye Hospital, our experts use advanced diagnostic techniques, including slit-lamp examination, ocular coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus photography, to accurately diagnose the type and severity of uveitis. This allows us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Treatment for uveitis typically focuses on controlling inflammation and addressing the underlying cause. We offer a range of treatment options, including corticosteroid eye drops, oral medications, and immunosuppressive drugs for patients with autoimmune-related uveitis. In more severe cases, intravitreal injections or surgical interventions, such as vitrectomy, may be required to manage complications like retinal damage or vitreous opacities. Our team also works closely with rheumatologists and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care for patients whose uveitis is related to systemic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or sarcoidosis.
