Now that is a crazy word. When I first heard it my brain was rattled. So was my families. We had no idea why this was or what it meant. But we quickly learned and I will share with you what I know.
Uveitis is inflammation in your eyes. (I still don’t know what inflammation is). It causes your pupils to close to protect your eyes.
The exact cause of uveitis is often unclear, but some factors increase the chance of it happening. These include: Juvenile arthritis, psoriasis and other autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Inflammatorydisorders, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis. But a lot of times you don’t have to have any of these….like me! My uveitis is described as idiopathic. Which means there is no reason.
