What medications are used for lens-related uveitis?

Patient's question:

I woke up feeling well-rested last night and noticed that my eyes were a bit uncomfortable, with a sensation of itching. I rubbed them with my hands, and as a result, my eyes are sore this morning, red, and swollen. The doctor said I have lens-related uveitis. What kind of medicine should I take for lens-related uveitis?

Doctor's answer:

The incidence of uveitis is very high, and it is related to conditions such as rheumatism in daily life. When symptoms reappear, it is necessary to use hormone drugs for treatment. Additionally, uveitis can lead to secondary complications such as cataracts and glaucoma. During the treatment period, hormone drugs should be used. Uveitis is relatively a more severe condition with symptoms that can be quite serious. In cases where intraocular inflammation occurs, it is best to seek medical attention promptly for follow-up and symptomatic treatment.
