Reply to "Uveitis / Scleritis"

I've had uveitis 3-4 times, quite some time ago.   Each time, my symptoms came on fairly suddenly and severely.  I went straight to an opthalmologist, since my left eye was SO sore, red, blurry, and sensitive to light.   Tell your dr. your history and your suspicions, they will look in your eyes with a slit lamp (if I recall the name) and see the inflammation and can diagnose it right then and there.   My optometrists have also checked with a slit lamp, and told me they too could treat the uveitis.  I was given steroid drops and also those drops that dilate your eyes to prevent scarring, if I recall - had to use these several times a day, not fun.  I'm not sure that your symptoms are indicative of uveitis, but as I said, it's relatively easy for these eye drs. to diagnose.  Sorry you're experiencing all these problems.
