What is Uveitis?

Uveitis is the inflammation (redness and swelling) of the uvea, the middle part of your eye. It can cause eye pain, blurry vision, and sensitivity to bright light. This condition can happen due to an eye infection, an injury, or when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own eyes (autoimmune disease).

If not treated quickly, uveitis can permanently damage your eye and lead to vision loss. That's why early check-ups are critical. At Navjyoti Eye Hospital, our uveitis specialist in Patna uses modern machines to find the exact cause and provide the best care, from medicines that reduce swelling to advanced long-term treatments.

Common Types of Uveitis

Uveitis can happen in different parts of the eye. Our specialists will determine the exact type to provide targeted care.

Anterior Uveitis

The most common type, affecting the front part of the eye. It causes redness, pain, and light sensitivity.

Intermediate Uveitis

Occurs in the middle of the eye. Symptoms include blurry vision and small dark spots (floaters).

Posterior Uveitis

Affects the back part of the eye (retina/choroid). It can cause vision loss if not treated quickly.

Panuveitis

The most serious form, where all parts of the uvea are swollen. It requires immediate care from a specialist.

Common Signs and Risk Factors

Knowing the risks and recognizing the signs can help you seek care early and protect your vision.

Common Signs

  • Continuous redness in the eyes
  • Eye pain or discomfort
  • Hazy or blurry vision
  • Small dark spots (floaters)
  • Eyes hurt in bright light

You May Be at Risk If:

  • You have autoimmune diseases
  • You've had a past eye injury or infection
  • You have other health problems like TB

If you have these signs, visit a uveitis specialist in Patna quickly. Waiting can damage your vision.

Diagnosis and Screening at Navjyoti

Our hospital performs special tests to diagnose uveitis and monitor your eye health. These tests are quick, safe, and painless.

  • CheckSlit-Lamp Exam: Uses a special microscope to look inside your eye for redness, swelling, or damage.
  • CheckFundus Photography: Takes clear photos of the back of your eye (retina) to check its health.
  • CheckOCT Test: A 3D imaging scan that reveals even tiny problems that are hard to see.
  • CheckBlood Test: Helps find the root cause if uveitis is linked to another condition in your body.

Advanced Uveitis Treatment Options

Every person's eyes are different. Our uveitis specialist in Patna chooses the best treatment to stop swelling, remove pain, and protect your eyesight.

Eye Drops

Special drops that directly reduce redness, swelling, and pain. Often the first step in treatment.

Steroid Medicines

Powerful anti-inflammatory medicines (drops, tablets, or injections) that work fast to bring down severe swelling.

Immunosuppressants

Used for autoimmune uveitis, these medicines calm the immune system to stop it from attacking the eyes.

Biologics & Surgery

Advanced medicines that target the exact cause of swelling. Surgery may be used to fix complications like cataracts or glaucoma caused by uveitis.

Risks if Left Untreated

Untreated uveitis can cause serious, irreversible problems like cataracts, glaucoma, and permanent vision loss. Early and consistent treatment at Navjyoti is the best way to protect your vision for life.
