A member asked:
Chronic idiopathic/autoimmune uveitis can cause permanent blindness. but does acute uveitis/iritis from injury also cause irreversible blindness? can traumatic uveitis recover on its own in majority cases if steroid or nsaid drops are not used?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Long standing uveitis from any cause can evolve into permanent blindness. Treatment as soon as possible is essential in prevention of blindness. Obtain a referral to an ophthalmologist for treatment.
