Overview

Uveitis specifically refers to inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, termed the "uvea" but in common usage may refer to any inflammatory process involving the interior of the eye. The uvea consists of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid, and it provides most of the blood supply to the retina. Uveitis may occur in either eye or both eyes. Uveitis is estimated to be responsible for approximately 10% of the blindness in the United States.
