What Are Uveal Diseases?

The uvea is like the engine of your eye, helping to control light, focus vision, and supply nutrients. When this part of your eye faces problems, it's called a uveal disease. These conditions can affect your vision if not treated promptly. At Kailash Eye Care, we’re here to help you understand and treat these diseases so your eyes stay healthy.

Types of Uveal Diseases

• Uveitis: Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea and can cause redness, pain, light sensitivity, and blurry vision. It needs prompt treatment to prevent complications.
• Choroiditis: This is the inflammation of the choroid, the blood vessels layer in your eye. It can cause blurry vision or dark spots and must be treated early.
• Iritis: Iritis is the inflammation of the iris (the coloured part of the eye), causing red eyes, pain, and light sensitivity. Timely treatment helps prevent vision loss.
• Iridocyclitis:This condition affects both the iris and the focusing muscle, leading to eye discomfort and headaches. Treatment is crucial for relieving symptoms.
• Sympathetic Ophthalmia:A rare condition where injury to one eye can cause inflammation in the other. Immediate attention is necessary to protect your vision.
• Uveal Melanoma: A rare but serious type of eye cancer. Early detection through regular eye exams increases treatment success.

Diagnostic Modalities

We pride ourselves on offering the latest in diagnostic technology to ensure the best care for your eyes:

• High-Resolution Imaging: Our advanced imaging tools allow us to examine the eye in exceptional detail, making it easier to spot early signs of uveal diseases and track progress.
• Laser Technology: Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure used to treat several uveal conditions. It allows us to treat eye diseases with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
• Precise Surgical Tools: For complex cases, we use the latest surgical tools designed for precision and safety, allowing us to treat delicate parts of the eye with accuracy.
