Types of Uveitis

Types of Uveitis

Uveitis may affect the front of the eye (anterior uveitis or iridocyclitis), the middle of the eye (intermediate uveitis), the back of the eye (posterior uveitis) or all parts of the eye (panuveitis). Additionally, ocular inflammatory disorders can affect the white of the eye (scleritis), the optic nerve (papillitis, neuroretinitis), the retinal blood vessels (retinal vasculitis), the tissue surrounding the eye (orbital inflammation) or the ocular surface (ocular cicatricial pemphigoid).
