Uveitis is a term used to describe inflammation of uvea, which is the middle layer of eye. It is an important cause of blindness in children in both developed and developing countries. Delayed diagnosis, inadequate treatment and risk of amblyopia are some of the factors that are unique to childhood uveitis and are responsible for significant morbidity seen with this disease.
