Uveitis Treatment in Vadodara – Expert Eye Care at Vala Eye Centre

At Vala Eye Centre, Vadodara, we believe that every patient deserves clear, healthy, and comfortable vision. Among the many eye conditions we treat, uveitis is one that requires early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and continuous care. Left untreated, it can cause complications like cataract, glaucoma, macular edema, and even vision loss. But with the right treatment plan and specialist guidance, uveitis can be managed effectively.

What is Uveitis?

Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris (the colored part of the eye), ciliary body, and choroid. Because the uvea plays a key role in nourishing the eye and maintaining vision, any inflammation here can be serious if not treated quickly.

Uveitis can occur at any age, but it is most common in people between 20 and 60 years. It may affect one or both eyes and the symptoms can appear suddenly or gradually.

Symptoms of Uveitis:

If you experience any combination of these, consult our specialists without any delay.
  • Severe redness in the eye
  • Pain in eye
  • Dark floating spots in your vision, called floaters
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Blurred vision

Types of Uveitis

Depending on where the inflammation occurs in the eye, uveitis is classified into:

  • Anterior Uveitis – Affects the front part of the eye (most common).

  • Intermediate Uveitis – Involves the middle portion of the eye.

  • Posterior Uveitis – Affects the back portion of the eye, including the retina.

  • Panuveitis – A more severe form where all parts of the uvea are inflamed.

Causes of Uveitis

Uveitis can be caused by many factors. In some patients, the exact cause may not be found. Common causes include:

  • Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or lupus.

  • Infections like tuberculosis, herpes, syphilis, or viral infections.

  • Eye injuries or trauma.

  • Post-surgical inflammation.

  • Systemic diseases that affect multiple organs.

Because uveitis may be linked to both eye health and overall body health, our doctors often collaborate with physicians and rheumatologists when needed.

Symptoms of Uveitis

The signs of uveitis can vary, but you should seek an eye doctor immediately if you notice:

  • Redness in one or both eyes.

  • Eye pain or discomfort.

  • Sensitivity to light (photophobia).

  • Blurred or cloudy vision.

  • Black spots or floating shapes in vision (floaters).
