A member asked:
I have eye inflammation & auto immune system help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What kind of help?: Inflammation from autoimmune problems is one of the most complex diseases to diagnose and treat. It can also effect many different parts of the eye. If the inflammation is on the cornea, see a corneal specialist. If its inside the eye, i would see a uveitis specialist. If its retina, see a retina specialist or a uveitis specialist. Hope that helps.
