How is Uveitis treated? The treatment of Uveitis aims to achieve the following:
- Relief of pain and discomfort (where present)
- To prevent sight loss due to the disease or its complications
- To treat the cause of the disease where possible.
Like the varied nature of uveitis, the treatment of it may differ from case to case quite considerably. Corticosteroids are often the mainstay of treatment but now are, importantly, being joined by some other newer drugs, usually used along with the steroids. Various eye-drops are used, particularly to treat anterior uveitis.
