Uveitis is inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea or uveal tract.
The uvea is made up of the iris (coloured part of the eye), the ciliary body (ring of muscle behind the iris) and the choroid (layer of tissue that supports the retina).
Common signs of uveitis include:
Treatment for uveitis will depend on which areas of the eye are affected and what caused the condition.
Medication is the main treatment, but surgery can be used in particularly severe cases.
