Ocular Inflammation
Ocular inflammation is swelling inside the eye. Uveitis, also called iritis, is the form that affects the inner structures, and it can involve one or both eyes.
Key points
- Symptoms include eye pain that may worsen with reading, along with redness, watering and blurred vision.
- Uveitis usually settles quickly with treatment but can return, and treating it early helps avoid long-term vision loss.
