Also known as uveaitis, Uveitis, uvea inflammation

Uveitis () is inflammation of the uvea, the pigmented layer of the eye between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea. The uvea consists of the middle layer of pigmented vascular structures of the eye and includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Uveitis is described anatomically, by the part of the eye affected, as anterior, intermediate or posterior, or panuveitic if all parts are involved. Anterior uveitis (iridocyclitis) is the most common, with the incidence of uveitis overall affecting approximately 1:4500, most commonly those between the ages

虹彩炎(英語:Uveitis),是的一種,是一種虹膜以及睫狀體的急性發炎的眼疾。發病原因至今不甚清楚,主要是自體免疫系統的問題,很有可能是自發性或反應性關節炎。 臨床症狀上,常會有眼睛紅、畏光、疼痛、流淚、眼压高以及視力模糊的情形。不具傳染性。治療上,若是眼壓高者,需使用散瞳劑來降眼壓;嚴重發炎者,需使用類固醇藥劑消炎。大部分的虹彩炎在治癒之後,視力與發炎情況可以回復正常,可是如果反覆發作,容易造成虹膜粘黏、白內障或青光眼等的併發症。
