Evaluation and Diagnosis

A complete medical history and eye examination will be conducted to determine what type of uveitis you have and if there is any evidence of an underlying condition. This may involve a variety of tests, such as blood work, X-rays of your back, scans, etc.

The eyes will be thoroughly examined. This usually involves the placement of eye drops to make the pupils wider so that the doctor can see into your eye more easily. You may also have a fluorescein angiogram. A small amount of yellow dye will be injected into your arm while photos are taken of your eyes. Because the drops used affect your eyesight for a short period of time, you will not be able to drive or read for a couple of hours after your appointment
