📋Overview
Uveitis describes inflammation of the uveal tract, which consists of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. This condition can affect one or both eyes and is often categorized by the specific anatomical location of the inflammation within the eye.
The inflammation may occur due to various factors, including infections, eye injuries, or underlying systemic inflammatory diseases. While it primarily involves the middle layer of the eye, the condition can also impact other parts of the ocular structure.
