  Uveitis is a broad term for inflammation of one or all parts of the uvea, or the vascular area between the retina and sclera of the eye. Anterior uveitis involves inflammation of the iris and ciliary body. Intermediate uveitis involves the posterior ciliary body and pars plana. Posterior uveitis involves the posterior vitreous, retina, choroid, retinal vasculature, and optic nerve. Panuveitis involves inflammation in the anterior, intermediate, and posterior segments of the eye. […] Uveitis can be acute, recurrent, or chronic. Acute uveitis is characterised by sudden onset (over hours or days) and limited duration (3 months’ duration). In recurrent uveitis, there are repeated episodes separated by disease inactivity 3 months, whether on or off treatment. Chronic uveitis is defined as persistent uveitis (3 months’ duration) characterised by relapse within 3 months of therapy termination. […] All types of uveitis are potentially blinding conditions and should be referred to and managed by an experienced ophthalmologist.

[…] Patients should continue treatment until the inflammation resolves completely to avoid complications associated with chronic iritis or uveitis. […] Some complications of iritis may include the following: Permanent vision loss is rare but may occur if the retina develops fluid collections called CME (cystoid macular edema) or if high eye pressure leads to glaucomatous damage to the optic nerve. […] Scarring of the iris to the lens (synechiae) or the drainage channels in the eye (peripheral anterior synechiae) can lead to acutely or chronically elevated eye pressures, which ultimately may result in glaucoma.

[…] In almost every case, the patient has done nothing wrong to cause their symptoms, which can include blurred vision, dark spots or lines in the field of vision (floaters), eye pain, sensitivity to light, and severe eye redness. […] Because uveitis is uncommon, it often goes undetected or misdiagnosed until severe complications develop. Untreated uveitis can lead to vision loss. […] Patients over 60, those with long-term uveitis, and some who have uveitis in the middle or back of the eye might be at increased risk of complications. If left untreated, uveitis can cause long-term problems such as cataracts, damage to the optic nerve that can lead to vision loss, detachment of the retina, glaucoma, macular edema, retina scarring in spots, and permanent vision loss.

  Uveitis affects people in different ways depending on which part of the uvea and eye is affected (front, middle or back). The symptoms of uveitis may include pain, sensitivity to bright lights and poor vision. […] However, some symptoms can be less obvious, making uveitis more difficult to diagnose initially. Some people may not notice any symptoms and so uveitis can be undetected for several weeks or months. […] An episode of acute anterior uveitis which has been treated promptly does not usually cause any long-term changes to your sight. This is because it responds quickly to treatment initially so only a short course of eye drops is needed, and most people recover within a few weeks. […] Some people will only have a single episode of anterior uveitis. However, it can recur or become chronic in which case, it may cause more problems over time.

  Intermediate uveitis can cause dense floaters (black dots, shapes and wispy lines that move across your vision) as a result of inflammatory cells in the vitreous gel. It usually affects both of your eyes. Your vision may gradually become increasingly blurry and occasionally, you may be sensitive to light. […] Posterior uveitis causes blurry, distorted vision or patchiness or gaps in your vision. It can also cause problems with colour vision and/or seeing in the dark at night (nyctalopia). […] Intermediate or posterior uveitis do not usually cause any eye pain or redness. […] The way in which your sight may be affected in the long term by intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis or panuveitis may be due to the direct effects of the uveitis or its complications. […] Uveitis affecting the back of your eye tends to heal more slowly so treatment may continue for a longer period. How your sight will be affected in the short and long term varies so much among individuals. The length of time it takes for your eye(s) to respond to treatment and how long a flare-up lasts also varies from person to person.

  Uveitis is inflammation of your uvea, the middle layer of your eye. It can affect a specific area of your eye or multiple areas.

[…] In severe cases, uveitis (pronounced yoo-vee-EYE-tiss) can cause permanent vision loss and blindness. […] The main complication of uveitis is vision loss and blindness. Complications can happen because of the changes uveitis can cause in your eye. […] Uveitis is a common cause of vision loss and legal blindness. In the U.S., 10% of legal blindness cases happen because of, or in connection with, uveitis. Negative outcomes are more likely when there are delays in diagnosis and treatment. […] The odds of long-term vision issues are much lower with early diagnosis and treatment. When those happen, you’re more likely to recover fully and avoid permanent vision issues.
