What Is Uveitis?
10. What Is the Recovery Period Like?
The recovery process varies depending on the type of uveitis you have. Despite all of them being related, treatment and recovery can vary between the three main types of uveitis. With all cases, recurring episodes are common once an initial diagnosis has been made, especially in cases where there is an underlying autoimmune condition contributing to the inflammation.
Symptoms of the relatively common anterior uveitis usually subside within a few days of starting treatment.
Intermediate uveitis may last for weeks before you notice an improvement. Posterior uveitis is more difficult to treat and has a longer recovery period. Many people experience periods of inflammation that can last for months or longer. Permanent damage to eye tissue is possible with posterior uveitis.
