What do Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease Ophthalmologists do?
Ophthalmologists diagnose and treat uveitis and other ocular inflammatory diseases, involving inflammation of the eye. T
hey perform comprehensive eye exams, order tests to identify the cause (like infections or autoimmune diseases), and manage treatment, which can include topical or oral steroids, injections, or other medications.
Their goal is to reduce inflammation, prevent vision loss, and address any underlying systemic conditions.
What they do
Diagnosis
Comprehensive eye exam: Includes vision and intraocular pressure checks, a slit-lamp exam to view the front of the eye, and a dilated exam to check the back of the eye.
Medical history: A thorough discussion of symptoms and risk factors is crucial to understanding the patient’s history.
Additional testing:
- Blood tests to identify systemic causes.
- Imaging tests, such as fluorescein angiography, are used to examine the blood vessels in the retina.
- Analysis of eye fluid to check for infection or other causes.
Treatment
Surgery: May be performed for complications, such as a complex cataract caused by uveitis.
Medications:
Topical eye drops are often the first line of treatment, especially steroids.
Oral steroids: Used when topical drops are insufficient.
Injections: Steroids or other medications may be injected into or around the eye.
Immunomodulatory therapy: Medications like methotrexate or mycophenolate may be used for complex or systemic inflammation.
Treating underlying causes:
Infectious uveitis: Treated with specific antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals.
Underlying conditions: Treatment may focus on managing the systemic disease, such as an autoimmune condition.
