The uvea, a highly vascular layer lining the sclera, plays a crucial role in providing nutrition to the sclera. When inflammation occurs in this layer, it is known as uveitis. This complex and potentially sight-threatening condition is classified into three types according to its anatomical location: anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, and posterior uveitis.
Identifying the root cause of uveitis is often the most challenging aspect of ophthalmology. There are numerous potential causes and pathologies, including infections (exogenous and endogenous), autoimmune disorders, cancerous intraocular tumors, and trauma (surgical or post-surgical). Some examples of autoimmune disorders that may lead to uveitis include ankylosing spondylitis, while cancerous tumors that can cause the condition consist of retinoblastomas and iris melanomas.
