The choroid is a vascular, fibrous layer that protects the eye and is extremely important for nutrition and gas exchange. It consists of three parts: The iris, the ciliary body and the choroid. When any part of the uveal lining becomes inflamed, the condition is called uveitis.<\/p>\n

There are three types of uveitis that affect three different parts of the uveitis.<\/p>\n

Anterior uveitis<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ofthalmologiki<\/span> This is the most common form of uveitis (40-70% of cases). It affects the iris and its surrounding tissue, known as the ciliary body. Anterior uveitis is sometimes called iritis because the iris, which is part of the uveal lining, is usually affected in this type of disease.<\/p>\n

Interstitial Uveitis<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ofthalmologiki This is another type of uveitis that affects the area just behind the ciliary body (pars plana) as well as the most prominent edge of the retina. It is the rarest type of uveitis.<\/p>\n

Posterior Vaginitis<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ofthalmologiki<\/span> A rare form of the disease that affects the back of the eye, the choroid and may affect the retina and\/or the optic nerve. This form is the most difficult to treat and is often associated with progressive vision loss.<\/p>\n

In most cases there is no obvious underlying cause of uveitis. It is a condition associated with a wide range of diseases and syndromes and may also be caused as a result of our body’s natural response to infections.<\/p>\n
