What Is Uveitis?
6. Can It Be Prevented?
Proper eye care and good hygiene practices can reduce your likelihood of contracting an infection that leads to uveitis. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, especially if you haven’t just washed your hands. If you do contract an infection of your eye, take all medication to ensure it is fully resolved. Avoid smoking since it increases your chance of developing uveitis.
For cases that are caused by an autoimmune condition, it is critical that you address the underlying cause. Always follow the advice and care instructions of your healthcare providers to avoid flare-ups.
