Uveitis Treatment

Last Updated: October 31, 2026

Lifestyle Modifications

Support recovery, minimize symptoms, and prevent recurrence of uveitis.

Protect your eyes from injury by wearing appropriate protective eyewear during sports or hazardous activities, as eye trauma can be a cause of uveitis.
Manage underlying systemic conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, in close consultation with your specialists to prevent uveitis flare-ups.
Avoid activities that exacerbate eye pain or strain, such as prolonged reading or screen time, especially during acute flare-ups.
Adhere strictly to your ophthalmologist's follow-up schedule to monitor treatment effectiveness and detect complications early.

Medicinal Treatment

Eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and prevent vision loss and long-term complications.

Prescription of anti-infective medications (e.g., antivirals, antibiotics, antiparasitics) if an infection is identified as the cause of uveitis.
Corticosteroids, administered as eye drops, oral tablets, or injections (periocular or intraocular), to powerfully reduce inflammation within the eye.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help manage pain and reduce inflammation, often used in conjunction with corticosteroids.
Cycloplegic eye drops to relax the eye muscles, reduce pain, and prevent complications like synechiae (adhesions).
Immunosuppressants and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors for severe, chronic, or recurrent cases to modulate the immune system and control inflammation.

Surgical Treatment

Address severe or recurrent uveitis, manage complications, and restore or preserve vision.

Light treatment (laser phototherapy) to treat specific types of uveitis or complications, such as macular edema.
Cryotherapy (freezing treatment) for certain forms of uveitis, particularly those affecting the peripheral retina.
Vitrectomy, a surgical procedure to remove inflammatory cells and debris from the vitreous gel, often performed for severe or non-responsive cases.
Surgery to address complications such as cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal detachment that may arise from chronic uveitis.
