A member asked:
I have a lot of floaters. also light sensitive. how would i, or an eye doctor know if they are caused by uveitis, or pars planitis?

Floaters, Uveitis: Patrick, it would be hard for you to know if the floaters you are experiencing are from uveitis or PP, although both conditions can cause associated light sensitivity, pain and redness which can be clues. An eye doctor would conduct a dilated examination of the back of your eye and can see changes which go along with uveitis/PP. I would see an eye doctor for a full evaluation. Take care!
