Good advisor

Hello everyone,

Can someone explain to me the difference between these 2 as I thought they were the same thing that affected the eyes? I had been facing eye problems for the last few months and at the doctor's appointment, was adviceed to get checked for both these conditions. Should I be worried?

Thank you

Hi @AS1218

How are you today?

It's good you've will go to the doctor for a proper evaluation, they will be able to tell you most accurately what to expect from iritis and uveitis and what the differences are. But while you are waiting to go to your visit, maybe the community can weigh in and let you know what they have experienced. I'll tag a few members for their points of view.

Do you have either iritis or uveitis? What is the difference? Did your doctor prescribe you a treatment?

Take care,
