Uveitic conditions are much more common than you may think. In Singapore, the pattern of anterior uveitis among the Chinese were more frequent while the Malays and Indians experiences tuberculosis uveitis quite often.

What You Need To Know

Common Symptoms of Uveitis include:

  • Blurred vision
  • Sensitivity to light (photophobia)

Uveitis may come on suddenly with redness and pain, or sometimes with painless blurring of your vision. A case of simple “red eye” may in fact be a serious problem of uveitis.
