Hello! What is usual treatment for chronic uveitis? My cousin complained on blurred vision and aches for some time, but she has been diagnosed with chronic uveitis just recently. I am keen to know how she will be treated. Thanks in advance.
Yes, in case of chronic uveitis, patients complain of dull aches and blurring of vision. Since many kinds of uveitis have no known cause, they are treated nonspecifically with cortisone to suppress inflammation and to prevent structural damage to the eye. They may be addressed in the form of eye drops, ointments, injections or pills. Corticosteroids in the pill form (prednisone) can have serious side effects, so Ophthalmologists treat most cases of uveitis with eyedrops or injections of corticosteroids next to the eye.
Hi there,
Having uveitis is very problematic. The facts is that uveitis is swelling of the middle layer of your eye called uvea. The fact is that the most blood support comes through the uvea and if you have problems with blood pressure you can also have problem like uveitis. Do you know if she had any injuries to her eyes? I know that this can be also caused by Kawasaki disease or ulcerative colitis. She will need dark glasses and steroid eye drops to treat this eye problem. Also she can use some eye drops that dilate the eye in order to reduce the pain. I hope this helped in any way.
All the best,
Danella
