Patient's question:
Carefully checked, I have uveitis associated with polyarteritis nodosa. I am 34 years old. No wonder I keep dropping eye drops but they don't seem to work well. Only after a thorough examination at the hospital did I realize how serious it already was. This is my first time suffering from this disease, and I don't know how difficult it is to treat. Doctor, is this disease difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned is a manifestation of uveitis caused by systemic diseases reappearing. This type of disease is relatively difficult to heal on its own. Currently, it is necessary to first identify the location of the uveitis. If it is anterior uveitis, the treatment option generally considered is the use of eye drops, specifically corticosteroid eye drops, combined with mydriatic eye drops.
