10 Ankylosing Spondylitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Uveitis
Ankylosing spondylitis is a condition that can cause pain, discomfort, and mobility. As such, you might expect that these are the symptoms that initially encourage people to see their doctor but this is not always the case. In some cases, it is actually swollen eyes that cause people to make an appointment.
Ankylosing spondylitis can cause uveitis. This is the inflammation of the uvea, which is the pigmented section of the eye. This inflammation can cause sensitivity to sunlight and it can also be quite painful. Regular eyedrops treatments are not likely to be effective so you will need to speak to a medical professional for help.
