How Uveitis Is Diagnosed

Symptoms of Uveitis

• Eye pain and redness
• Blurred or decreased vision
• Light sensitivity (photophobia)
• Floaters or dark spots in vision
• Watery or irritated eyes

Because uveitis can be chronic or recurring, Dr. Solofsky provides close monitoring and regular follow-up to adjust treatment as needed and safeguard your long-term eye health.

• Topical steroid or anti-inflammatory eye drops
• Oral medications for more severe or recurrent cases
• Pupil-dilating drops to relieve pain and prevent synechiae (adhesions)
• Referral to a retinal or uveitis specialist for advanced care if needed
