Vaginitis: The dangerous inflammation of the eye

Uteritis is inflammation of the lining, that is, the middle of the three layers that make up the eye.
The dragonfly lies between the fibrin (the outer layer of the eye) and the retina (located deep in the eye).

It is not a single structure, but consists of individual parts, including the iris, the colored ring around the pupil of the eye.
When inflammation of the uveitis is found in the iris, it is called iritis or anterior uveitis.

Symptoms and causes.

Symptoms of uveitis often manifest abruptly and can worsen rapidly. Sometimes, however, their occurrence is gradual, over many days or even weeks.

Vaginitis can occur in one eye or both. Suspicious symptoms include redness and eye pain, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, the appearance of black spots suspended in the field of vision, and reduced vision.

It also occurs in children

Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects people of reproductive age (20-50 years), but it can also occur in children.

In about half the cases, the cause of uveitis remains unclear. If it is possible to find a cause, it is usually an injury or surgery to the eye, infections, some autoimmune disease, some inflammatory disease or an eye cancer (eg lymphoma).

These conditions sometimes increase the risk of uveitis because they weaken the immune system (eg cancer) and sometimes because they increase the risk of inflammatory substances in the eye (eg sarcoidosis).

Vaginitis can be acute or chronic. Acute symptoms occur abruptly, within hours or days.
In chronic uveitis the symptoms develop gradually or last for more than six weeks.
Thus, a severe eye stroke, penetrating injury or chemical or fire burn can cause acute anterior uveitis, ie, irritation.

Herpes zoster or the genetic predisposition to the manifestation of certain autoimmune diseases can have the same outcome. Children with rheumatoid arthritis, for example, may develop chronic arthritis.

Risk factors and complications.

In addition to the genetic predisposition to developing autoimmune diseases, another powerful risk factor for uveitis and iritis is smoking.

Some medications, such as certain antibiotics and antiretrovirals (for HIV / AIDS infection) may increase the risk of developing iritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious condition because delayed treatment can lead to serious complications that lead to permanent loss of vision.

 In particular, its potential complications include glaucoma, cataracts, optic nerve damage, retinal detachment, and permanent loss of vision.

Chronic gingivitis can also lead to deformity of the iris due to the scar tissue that is formed.

It can also lead to accumulation of calcium deposits in the cornea, resulting in degeneration and impaired vision.

Finally, it can cause the retina to swell and form cysts on its surface. These events may blur or reduce central vision.

Diagnosis and treatment.

Fortunately, complications can be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis is made by clinical examination, visual acuity testing and evaluation of the bottom of the eye.
If uveitis is suspected, the ophthalmologist may request fluid analysis from the eye and general blood tests and / or diagnostic tests to check for any systemic disease.

If the cause is an underlying health problem, treating it will also improve inflammation in the eye.
The patient may also need treatment with anti-inflammatory cholesterol as well as cholera-fighting bacteria or viruses.

If uveitis affects both eyes, does not respond to corticosteroids or becomes so severe that it threatens vision, the doctor may recommend immunosuppressive drugs.
 
In rare cases, surgery is recommended to remove fluid from the eye or to place a special device for continuous administration of corticosteroids.
Deep-rooted uveitis is cured at a slower rate than superficial uveitis, that is, iritis.
Similarly, severe inflammation takes longer to recede than moderate.

 It is certain that, until the patient is fully recovered, he or she must be regularly re-examined by the ophthalmologist to monitor the course and effectiveness of the treatment recommended.
It is noted that anyone who has once had uveitis is at increased risk of relapse, even if the initial treatment was successful.
