Uveitis can be cured ?

Depends: Some uveitides, like postoperative anterior uveitis, can be treated and stopped (cured). Whereas others may require life long ocular and systemic management and may never be cured, but managed. So it depends on the cause.

Treated mostly: Uveitis is inflammation in the eye. It depends: anterior, intermediate, posterior or associate with a systemic condition. Steroids treat inflammation either topically or as injection in or around the eye. Most cases have no identifiable cause. Many cases recur. Some are due to genetic diseases:hla-b27, some systemic disease sarcoidosis, behcet's and some infectious: tb, syphilis, bacterial.

Uveitis: First it is important to have a work up to attempt to determine an underlying cause. Uveitis can be infectious and non-infectious. Generally it is not "cured", but controlled with appropriate therapy.

Hard to measure: Uveitis commonly occurs only once in a persons lifetime and in that sense is cured. But many cases are recurrent, and affect both eyes. Each episode in such cases can usually be treated to the point of no evident disease, but recurrence can happen at various intervals. These are therefore treated, but not cured. Some are persistent, with poor response and require systemic therapy.
