Your doctor will likely prescribe a steroid to reduce the inflammation in your eye. Whether the steroid is administered as an eye drop, pill or injection depends on the type of uveitis you have. Because anterior uveitis affects the front of the eye, it's easy to treat with eye drops. Posterior uveitis usually requires tablets or injections. Depending on your symptoms, any of these treatments might be used for intermediate uveitis.
Some cause of the uveitis.The most common type anterior uveitis refers to iris inflammation, and ciliary body inflammation is called intermediate uveitis. Posterior uveitis refers to inflammation of the choroid, and the whole uvea inflammation is named diffuse uveitis. And different types of uveitis have different symptoms. While anterior uveitis causes strong pain, redness, light sensitivity and blurry vision, both intermediate and posterior uveitis are usually painless. People who suffer from uveitis should take good care of their eye health, especially when they are outdoors. Wearing eyeglasses could prevent dust and sunlight from hurting their eyes.
