What is the difference between local and systemic related Uveitis?
Local related Uveitis affects only the area in and around the eye(s) and is not associated with an inflammation or infection in the rest of the body. Systemic related Uveitis is and inflammation of the eye(s) that is associated with an inflammation or infection located elsewhere in the body. It is very important to accurately diagnose the cause of Uveitis and whether it is local or systemic in its origin in order to determine an effective course of treatment.
