Sudden?..: Is this a long standing or come on recently.If so,then Uveitis is a form of eye inflammation. It affects the middle layer of tissue in the eye wall (uvea).Uveitis (u-vee-I-tis) warning signs often come on suddenly and get worse quickly.Possible causes of uveitis are infection, injury, or an autoimmune or inflammatory disease.IF so,see someone today!!!
