What is Uveitis?
Uveitis
Uveitis is a condition that causes the middle layer of your eye (your uvea) to swell up and become inflamed. This can blur your vision, as well as making your eye feel very sore and sensitive to light.
Treatment for the condition depends on what part of the eye is affected.
