14. Treatments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your doctor comes back with a diagnosis of uveitis, they will issue you with treatment immediately., As mentioned, uveitis is aggressive, and leaving it untreated for too long could result in vision loss. The physician or ophthalmologist will use steroid medications to subside the inflammation in the affected eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor will issue these steroidal medications in eyedrop format. Eyedrops are the most common form of treatment. The doctor may prescribe you steroidal treatments in pill form or through injection therapy that they administer into the tissues around the eyeball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In rare instances, the doctor may use an implant to administer the steroids, releasing anti-inflammatory steroids to the affected eyeball over time. It’s important to note that these steroids are not the anabolic steroids <\/a>used by bodybuilders. They are safe for use in the human body under the guidance of a medical professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, the administration of steroids to the eye can result in a higher risk of the patient developing glaucoma and cataracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
