Uveitis is a condition that causes inflammation in the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. The symptoms of uveitis can include eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and floaters.

Vitreous inflammation, also known as vitritis, is a condition that causes inflammation in the vitreous humor, which is the gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina in the eye. The symptoms of vitritis can include floaters, blurred vision, and reduced visual acuity.

Both uveitis and vitritis can have a variety of causes, including infection, autoimmune disorders, trauma, and certain medications. Treatment for these conditions typically involves the use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids, to reduce inflammation and control symptoms.

In some cases, uveitis and vitritis can lead to complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal damage. It is important to seek prompt medical attention if you experience symptoms of these conditions, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious complications and preserve vision.

If you have been diagnosed with uveitis or vitritis, it is important to work closely with a specialist in the field, such as an ophthalmologist or a uveitis specialist. They can help you manage your condition and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.
