Abstract

Uveitis is a condition that can present to any comprehensive ophthalmologist. Uveitis can occur either as a co-manifestation of various autoimmune disorders and infections or as a side effect of medications and toxins, or it can arise as a purely idiopathic ocular inflammation. It has a varied clinical presentation and to make an accurate diagnosis is a challenge. It is vital for primary care providers to refer the patient to a uvea specialist if uveitis is suspected. Treatment for uveitis should be handled by an interprofessional team approach that includes ophthalmologists, retina and uveitis specialists, rheumatologist, pulmonologist all collaborating to support the patient's treatment regimen and bring about the best possible outcome.
