Uveitis Awareness Week
April 9-10, 2026
Uveitis is inflammation inside the eye that can lead to permanent vision damage without prompt treatment. Early diagnosis and coordinated care protect sight.
What is Uveitis?
Uveitis is inflammation of parts of the eye — the iris, ciliary body or choroid — and can affect the retina or vitreous. Symptoms include redness, pain, light sensitivity, floaters and blurred vision. Causes include autoimmune conditions, infection, trauma, or may remain unknown.
