How is uveitis diagnosed?

If you have any symptoms of uveitis, it is very important to see your ophthalmologist right away. Your ophthalmologist will perform a careful examination of your eyes. He or she may order laboratory tests, including blood work or X-rays.

Uveitis may be caused by another disease, so your ophthalmologist may want to talk with your primary care physician or a specialist to evaluate your general medical condition.
