"The night gave me black eyes, but I used it to find light." This sentence is in line with every eye disease patient's expectation and pursuit of "light". Many eye diseases can lead to vision loss and even loss, such as cataract , glaucoma and other eye diseases that are more familiar to everyone. However, there is a relatively unfamiliar eye disease that is also quietly "stealing" our light - uveitis. Director Liu Zhigao of the Department of Fundus Diseases of Jinan Aier Eye Hospital received such an 11-year-old child with uveitis.

It is understood that Xiaoyu (pseudonym) developed symptoms of redness, swollenness and pain a week ago, so he came to Jinan Aier Eye Hospital for his eyes checking. Director Liu Zhigao of the Department of Eye Diseases of Jinan Aier Eye Hospital confirmed Xiaoyu through a comprehensive eye examination: binocular uveitis, corneal band degeneration of both eyes, concurrent cataracts , and secondary glaucoma for the right eye. Xiaoyu performed a YAG periritomy of the right eye. After the operation, Xiaoyu's intraocular pressure was well controlled. After laser treatment of

, at the suggestion of Director Liu Zhigao, Xiaoyu went to a general hospital for systemic disease examination and further found the cause. The examination results showed that Xiaoyu suffered from rheumatism and immune-related diseases. Director Liu Zhigao finally confirmed that Xiaoyu had Baiser's disease on both eyes. He will receive systemic hormone treatment in the future. His condition is currently stable. He will undergo cataract surgery at an optional time.
Liu Zhigao introduced that there are many types of uveitis in children, and the causes are quite complex. If the diagnosis is not promptly and formal treatment is not carried out, it will lead to serious visual loss and high risk of blindness. In addition, uveitis has many complications, such as concurrent cataracts, corneal band degeneration, secondary glaucoma, strabismus , amblyopia , etc.
Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment is particularly important. Experts remind that if you may suffer from uveitis if you have red eyes, photophobia, blurred vision, and decreased vision, you may suffer from uveitis. The clinical manifestations of uveitis are not specific, but once you diagnose uveitis, it is not that simple. When your eyes are discomfort, please go to a professional ophthalmology hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately.
