Uveitis refers
to inflammation of the uveal tract of the eye: the iris, ciliary body
and choroid. A variety of ocular and systemic
 diseases
cause uveitis including collagen vascular diseases, viral and bacterial
infections, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Many
cases are "idiopathic"- their cause remains unknown. Uvieits
may commonly affect the
retina and vitreous and the diagnosis of the cause may be difficult.
The Retina-Vitreous Associates are experts in the diagnosis and management
of uveitis. Members of the group have helped develop new treatments
and diagnostic methods for this complex disorder. |
