What Is Uveitis?
7. How Is Uveitis Diagnosed?
Uveitis can often be diagnosed with a physical exam of the eye. A full health history will likely be needed to help identify any conditions that may increase your likelihood of developing it.
Your doctor may perform several tests to rule out other possibilities and establish the cause of your inflammation. These can include blood work, x-rays or other imaging tests, an examination of the eye fluid and skin tests. Combined, these can give a good picture of not only the inflammation but also what is causing it. This allows for more effective and targeted treatment of the symptoms and the underlying causes of them.
