it is a serious problem that needs proper care.
intermediate uveitis is usually involves both eye.it is usally associated with systemic disease, so you should ask ur doc to get investigated for it. Treatment involves treating the cause along with the eye.
trestment includes steroids. In cases of non responding or slow responders immunomodulators are used. You can ask the doc for their need.
in refractory cases surgical intervention maybe required.
complications include cataract, glaucoma, n macukar swelling. These will be monitored by the doc n appropiately treated.
a regular check up is therefore neccasary, seek a retina specialist preferably.
