Anterior uveitis is inflammation of the front layer of the uvea. You are more likely to get anterior uveitis if you have had certain diseases, viruses or an eye injury. Symptoms include a red eye, pain and blurry vision. This is a serious condition that must be treated immediately to save vision. Treatment often includes eye-drop medicine to reduce swelling and pain.

If you have any questions about your eyes or your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
