Behçet’s uveitis is an eye inflammation (uveitis) that arises as a complication of Behçet’s disease, an autoimmune disease caused by an overreaction of the immune system. This disease is characterized by recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, eye inflammation, skin lesions, and inflammation in other organs.
Behçet’s uveitis typically develops within a few years of the onset of the disease. It is characterized by inflammation in the eye, resulting in redness, pain, and blurred vision. Behçet’s uveitis usually affects the middle section of the eye (uvea) and is a type of anterior uveitis.
Symptoms of Behçet’s uveitis can include:
The inflammation inside the eye can cause pain.
Redness and blurred vision are common symptoms.
Increased sensitivity to light may occur.
Moving spots or floaters inside the eye may be visible.
Changes in the shape of the lens inside the eye can occur.
If not treated, Behçet’s uveitis can lead to severe vision loss. Therefore, intervention by a multidisciplinary team monitored by an eye doctor or rheumatologist is crucial.
Treatment typically aims to control the inflammation inside the eye and involves regular monitoring throughout the course of the disease. Steroid drops, injections into the eye, and systemic immunosuppressive medications (such as corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants) are commonly used in the treatment of Behçet’s uveitis.
Individuals with Behçet’s uveitis can increase their chances of preventing or minimizing vision loss with regular eye examinations and appropriate treatment. Therefore, it is important to consult a specialist when symptoms are noticed or when a diagnosis of Behçet’s disease is made.
