Treatment of Uveitis

Treatment of Uveitis

Uveitis treatment varies depending on the cause, type, and severity of the inflammation. Treatment is generally directed by an ophthalmologist and may include a range of strategies. Here are some commonly used methods of treating uveitis:

1. Medication Therapy:

  • Eye Drops or Ointments: Used to control inflammation on the eye surface and alleviate symptoms.
  • Oral Corticosteroids: Can be used for severe inflammation but may cause side effects with longterm use.
  • Intraocular Injections: Injecting medication into the eye can be used to more effectively control inflammation.

2. Immunosuppressants:

  • Medications that suppress the immune system, particularly used in types of uveitis associated with immune system issues.
  • Drugs like methotrexate, cyclosporine, and azathioprine fall into this category.

3. AntiVEGF Medications:

  • Used to control inflammation associated with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF).
  • Can be administered as intraocular injections.

4. Laser Therapy:

  • Laser therapy may be used in cases of inflammation in the retina or choroid.
  • Photodynamic therapy can be particularly useful in types of uveitis associated with agerelated macular degeneration.

5. Surgical Intervention:

  • Surgical procedures may be required to resolve eye adhesions caused by inflammation.
  • Surgeries can include vitrectomy or uveal surgery.

6. Systemic Treatment:

  • Uveitis can be associated with systemic diseases, so systemic medications may be used to treat the underlying cause.

     

    The treatment plan varies based on the patient’s condition, the type of uveitis, and its severity. Regular eye exams and followups are important to evaluate whether the treatment is effective. Additionally, monitoring for side effects and complications due to medication use is crucial. It is important for the patient to consult an eye doctor immediately if any symptoms or signs are noticed.
