What Are the Symptoms of Uveitis?

How to spot common posterior segment uveitis symptoms

When uveitis damages eye tissue, permanent vision loss can occur. In addition, serious eye conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment, may be complications of uveitis. Identifying uveitis symptoms is crucial for your eye doctor to test for posterior segment uveitis.

Posterior segment uveitis can significantly affect the careers and relationships of people living with it and 30,000 people become blind from it every year. Because of the serious nature of posterior segment uveitis, you should tell your eye doctor if you have any of these symptoms so they can make a proper posterior segment uveitis diagnosis.

Common symptoms of uveitis include:

Floaters

Small specks/flakes

Clouds

Blurred or decreased vision

When treating posterior segment uveitis, some of the primary goals include eliminating inflammation, preserving vision, and preventing serious complications such as blindness.

What is uveitis treatment?

There are multiple options that follow uveitis treatment guidelines.

Steroids:

Because many eye drops or ointments will not reach the inflammation in the back of the eye, steroid injections are often used.

Only one eye is affected, steroid injections in the eye may help
- They can work for up to 3 months and may require multiple injections over time to keep posterior segment uveitis under control
If both eyes are affected, steroid pills may be used
- If you cannot take pills, or if the inflammation is severe, intravenous (IV) steroids may be prescribed

Intravitreal implants:

A longer-lasting treatment, called an intravitreal implant, uses a tiny insert to deliver a steady dose of steroid to the affected eye.

Certain implants are surgically inserted, requiring an incision and stitches; others are non-surgically inserted through a tiny needle and do not require stitches

Immune suppressant medicine:

Other treatments include pills that more broadly reduce or suppress the body’s immune system.

Treatments may include prescribing an immunosuppressant medication or biologic agent

Side effects may occur. It’s important to discuss treatment risks with your eye doctor.
