^Answers to your
V^uestions about
Anterior Uveitis
Q. What is anterior uveitis?
A. Anterior uveitis is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye,
which includes the iris and adjacent tissue, known as the cilliary
body.
Q. Is the disease serious?
A. If untreated, anterior uveitis can lead to other eye problems and
cause permanent damage. It usually responds well to treatment,
however, there may be a tendency for the condition to recur.
Q. What causes anterior uveitis?
A. Anterior uveitis can occur as a result of trauma to the eye, such
as a blow or foreign body penetrating the eye. It can also be a
complication of other eye disease, or it may be caused by gen
eral health problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, rubella and
mumps. In most cases, there is no obvious underlying cause.
Q. What are the signs/symptoms of anterior uveitis?
A. Signs/symptoms may include a red, sore and inflamed eye,
blurring of vision, sensitivity to light and a small pupil.
Q. How is anterior uveitis diagnosed?
A. Since the symptoms of anterior uveitis are similar to those of
other eye diseases, your optometrist will carefully examine the
inside of your eye, under bright light and high magnification, to
determine the presence and severity of the condition. Your op
tometrist may also perform other diagnostic procedures and ar
range for other tests to help pinpoint the cause.
Q. Does anterior uveitis affect vision?
A. If untreated, anterior uveitis can affect adjacent eye tissues,
causing the development of glaucoma, cataracts or retinal ede
ma leading to a loss of vision.
Q.What is the treatment for anterior uveitis?
A. Usually prescription eyedrops which dilate the pupils, in combi
nation with anti-inflammatory drugs are needed. Treatment usu
ally takes several days, or up to a few weeks, in some cases.
