Autoimmune Uveitis
Autoimmune Uveitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the uvea , the middle layer of the eye responsible for blood flow and nourishment of ocular tissues. In autoimmune uveitis, the immune system mistakenly attacks eye structures, leading to redness, pain, and vision disturbances. It commonly occurs in association with diseases such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Sarcoidosis, and Behçet’s Disease .
Common Symptoms
If untreated, uveitis can lead to complications including glaucoma, cataracts, or permanent vision loss .
Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Vishal Kaura Aggarwal works closely with ophthalmology specialists to ensure precise diagnosis using slit-lamp examination, imaging, and autoimmune testing.
Management includes:
- Corticosteroid eye drops or systemic therapy
- Immunosuppressive medications for autoimmune control
- Biologic therapy in recurrent or severe cases
- Regular eye monitoring to prevent complications
Holistic Care Approach
By addressing both the underlying autoimmune condition and eye inflammation together, Dr. Vishal aims to reduce flare-ups, protect vision, and provide long-term disease control.
