Uveitis Treatment
(inflammatory eye disorders)
Uveitis is a group of inflammatory eye disorders that affect the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, and can lead to significant vision impairment if not treated promptly. Our uveitis treatment include
- Eye drops
- Intravitreal Dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex 700mcg)
- Intravitreal Fluocinolone implant (Iluvien 190mcg)
- Immunosuppression with systemic immunomodulatory drugs
Uveitis treatment aims to control inflammation, reduce pain, prevent tissue damage, and restore any vision loss. The specific treatment plan depends on the type and severity of uveitis. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preserving vision and preventing complications.
Our approach includes several advanced treatment options. Eye drops, such as corticosteroids, are often the first line of treatment for mild cases of uveitis. They help reduce inflammation and control symptoms. For more severe cases, intravitreal implants like Ozurdex and Iluvien are used to deliver medication directly into the eye, providing sustained relief from inflammation. These implants slowly release corticosteroids over several months, ensuring prolonged therapeutic effects.
In cases where uveitis is associated with systemic inflammatory conditions, immunosuppressive medications may be prescribed. These systemic drugs help control the immune response and reduce inflammation throughout the body, thereby mitigating eye symptoms. Our comprehensive treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

FAQs on Uveitis Treatment
Intravitreal implants like Ozurdex and Iluvien provide sustained release of corticosteroids directly into the eye, offering long-term control of inflammation. This method ensures a steady therapeutic effect, reducing the need for frequent eye drops or injections.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the uveitis and the treatment used. With prompt and appropriate treatment, many patients experience significant improvement in symptoms within a few weeks. Chronic or severe cases may require ongoing treatment and monitoring to maintain control of inflammation. Your ophthalmologist will provide detailed care instructions tailored to your specific condition.
