What Is Uveitis?
8. What Type of Doctor Treats Uveitis?
Your primary care doctor may be able to provide a diagnosis of uveitis. However, as with any disease or condition of the eye, it is best to seek care from an ophthalmologist for uveitis.
Ophthalmologists are medical doctors that have received additional specialized training in the structure of the eye and conditions that affect it. They have the knowledge and equipment to make a definitive diagnosis. Additionally, they have likely seen many other cases of uveitis and can provide treatment that will effectively relieve symptoms and clear up underlying causes.
