The clinical signs of uveitis occur as a result of inflammation within the vascular coat of the eye, which causes breakdown of the blood-aqueous barrier and blood-retinal barrier. Many infectious and noninfectious causes can incite episodes of uveitis. Although a complete diagnostic evaluation is highly recommended to identify any underlying etiologic agent, many cases remain idiopathic in nature. The goals of therapy are preserving vision, minimizing pain, and halting inflammation.
葡萄膜炎的临床症状是由眼血管膜的炎症引起的，这会导致血-房水屏障和血-视网膜屏障的破坏。许多感染性和非感染性原因都可引发葡萄膜炎发作。尽管强烈建议进行全面的诊断评估以确定任何潜在的病原体，但许多病例本质上仍为特发性。治疗的目标是保留视力、减轻疼痛并控制炎症。
