Welcome
Welcome to Uveitis Information Group. We're a patient led charity, based in the UK, run by volunteers who suffer from uveitis. Backed by uveitis specialists from all over the world, we have strong links with other patient led organisations. Together, we lead the way in developing patient information for uveitis.
Uveitis is a name for several types of inflammation of the inner part of the eye, often causing impaired vision. It is not a single disease, but a collective term referring to many different conditions within the eye. It can affect the whole of the uvea, (pan-uveitis) or any part of the uvea; front (anterior), middle (intermediate), back (posterior).
Our aim is to provide clear information about uveitis and its treatment for patients, families, researchers, ophthalmologists and other healthcare providers.
As members of Vision 2020 UK and the All Party Parliamentary Eye Health Group we aim to inform and educate parliamentarians about the importance of high quality eye care. By promoting a better understanding of visual impairment we hope to help prevent eye disease and blindness as well as improve social inclusion.
