I was 20 when I got my first attack of Uveitis in my left eye in 1973 and HLA-B27 positive. Fifteen years later, 2 to 3 attacks a year in both eyes for a total of 32 attacks, 5 surgeries - iridectomy, cataracts, macular holes, 2 hospitalization due to non responsive uveitis, and today I have partial blindness in my left eye and 20/40 out of my right eye with a contact lens. I changed my diet at 35. No dairy, no meat, limited junk food, ate lots of fruit, veggies, nuts, beans and legumes and take Turmeric daily (Gaia Turmeric) and probiotics. It's been over 30 years since I had another attack. I think dairy was the cause of my uveitis. At 65 my sister came down with uveitis and she is a big dairy consumer.

Love it!!! Great video! Congratulations on the 10k!

I tested positive for HLA-B27. I first experienced this eye condition when I was 21. I’ve now had it 10 times, it can be in either eye or both eyes or one after the other. Once it was so bad that my iris stuck to my lens and tore, I had a a tear drop shaped pupil! It caused me to lose vision in my right eye and now it’s terribly scarred. I’m being tested by rheumatology at the moment but without fail I seem to get it yearly. No out come of why it keeps happening at the moment. My eye doctor is now considering putting me on a low dose of steroid eye drops once a day for the definite future. Thanks for this great video

Oh this sounds too familiar! I'm right there with you, HLAB27 and all, with the exception of the tearing ... so sorry. it is super painful and when you've had it you can instantly recognize its return. For me it takes what feels like forever to heal and im on drops forever. It returns yearly for me also and typically in the winter months of Jan/Feb but its not exclusive to just that time as Ive had it in the summer as well. 1st bout started in my early 20s and had been consistently returning for roughly 15 yrs. I kept digging into what was I doing to trigger it, desperate to find the cause so I could stop doing whatever it was and found that my sugar intake greatly made a difference. I drastically cut back on sugar consumption and it helped! Ive been 5 years free without episode and loved it! ...Until recently after a 5 year break, it has returned 😣...trying to figure out why it happens is so challenging. Good luck in your search, hope you dont have to do the daily drops.

Female here with Ankylosing Spondilitis (AS) who tested positive HLA-b27. I'm watching this as this is my 3rd bout of uveitis. Let's dispell the myth that AS is "more common in men than women". It's this thinking in the medical community that keeps women from being diagnosed early. With early detection, people can start a biologic which helps slow or stop the progression of this disease. In my family, more women have AS than men.

@alisonjohnson6710 sorry you have to deal with that. For me, I actually had Acute Retinal Necrosis that caused the uveitis. Shingles was attacking my retina. They had to take a sample of fluid from my eye and test it to confirm. It was an aggressive condition, so I'm fortunate that we caught it super early. The doc said if I had gone in a few days later. I would have lost half my retina by then! It was an intense treatment process... lots of anti viral oral meds and anti viral eye injections. I still deal with uveitis now almost a year later, but it's not nearly as bad now. Once they knocked out the shingles virus and finished treatments, my vision became sharper again and I'm not as light sensitive now.

I have never had any major health issue, and I rarely fall sick, but it changed one day when I woke up with a blood red eye, couple of days later I was having severe photophobia. I wasted a few days thinking this will go away and nothing to really worry about, but it kept getting worse. Two doctors were not able to understand what exactly it was, finally I visited a specialist and she told me it's uveitis. I was told to get several blood tests done, my ANA test came out to be positive, which I was really worried about (I still am). I was then suggested to go see a rheumatologist, who again suggested I get a MRI done to rule out arthritis, I got it done, and the scan suggested I am just fine.

I have had 2 episodes of uveitis so far. The first happened in June of 2022 and now its flared up again in May of 2023. Last year i thought it was pink eye so i went to a Minute Clinic and the NP ruled out bacterial pink eye and just assumed it was viral. I made sure that she knew I had no pus or discharge from the affected eye but she still just gave me pink eye meds, these meds did not help at all and my vision and eye pain only got worsrle. From the onset of symptoms to when I finally went to the ER it was 10 days. The ER dr said it must be glaucoma due to my diabetes. He referred me to an ophthalmologist who reassured me it is not glaucoma and put me on cyclopentolate and prednisolone. Now that it's flared up again I thankfully knew exactly what it was right from the start and went straight to the eye dr. He has me on both drops again and has ordered me to get a full work up of so many tests plus a chest x ray to see if there is a root cause of the uveitis. I'm geeling a bit scared and intimidated after researching all the possible ubderlying causes of this.

I had my first attack of anterior uveitis six weeks ago. Very painful and came on so fast. I had no idea what was going on, but fortunately my optometrist saw me straight away and sent me straight to hospital. The hospital eye clinic confirmed uveitis and six weeks later I'm just finishing steroids treatment. Other than the occasional floater in the eye, the symptoms have all gone. Thank god for the wonderful NHS in the UK. 🙏🏻

I'm 24, soon to be 25. You know what's insane? I've never had any major health issues growing up, but that changed very suddenly. I woke up one morning to what seemed to the brightest sun I'd ever seen. That was 6 months ago now.. and the ONLY thing that's clear to me now is how fragile we are. Though I have sustained no trauma to the eye, my eyes have decided to hate me. Interesting observation, AMOLED displays no longer appear as they should, with a halo-affect surrounding all bright objects. LCD panels just aren't an option.. it's pretty strange. Some neon colors are painful. This is after steroid drops for the better part of 6 months.

Here is my story. Hope it helps and provides hope to many. I had stable -1 myopia for over 23 years. End of Jan 2023 I had an episode of "Primary Iridocyclitis of Right Eye". Used steroids and dilation drops. These did not improve but worsened the condition. After three weeks I stopped medications and went to tropical island. Hiked a lot and did eye exercises along with being in the sun all day. After 6 weeks my right eye still was weak and I saw things about 20% smaller than the left eye with glasses. But surprisingly after 7 weeks my right eye got better than left eye. I think now my right eye is near 20/20 maybe -0.25. I stopped using glasses after 23 years. The left eye still seems to be -1. I'm trying to continue exercises and reduce that as well. After seeing many articles about myopia from professionals who say it cannot be reversed I now feel like it can be reversed with a prolonged change in habits. Good luck everyone. Take care.

I’ve had 2 anterior uveitis episodes in the past like 7ish years. So thankful that they have been able to be treated with steroid drops and went away. No clue what caused them each time? The second time I knew what it was right away and got on drops way faster and it cleared up very quickly and knock on wood has not returned. Been in the clear for about 2 to 3 years now.

It took about a monthish I would say after stopping the drops to get back to normal vision. The second more recent bout I knew what was happening right away and got on drops immediately and it went much much more smoothly. That was about 3 years ago and so thankful no new flare ups.

It’s not a very common thing to get, so some specialists don’t realize that this is like dealing with a fire. No using the medicine for long enough can cause immediate flare ups. I get this once every other year. I think it’s related to stress but the specialists that have seen me say that has not been proven.

I was diagnosed with uveitis about 1 year ago. I was placed on steroid drops which raised the pressure in my eyes. I was then prescribed Brimonidine eye drops as well as Timolol eye drops to control the pressure. I still felt that something was off with that treatment plan because my eyes were constanly red, felt heavy and were occasionally painful and light sensitive. So, the other day I decided to research my eye drops to see if there was some sort of correlation between the drops and my not seeing vast improvements in my eye redness and flare-ups while being on this course of treatment. I found that Brimonidine can cause uveitis🤔 . Then I also saw that Brimonidine is an ingredient in Lumify. ----I had been using Lumify for about a year and a half prior to my uveitis diagnosis and because my eyes needed more and more Lumify to maintain the initial whiteness I got when I first started using it, I used way more than I probably should have . -----I have now been off brimonidine for a couple of days and my eyes are feeling a bit better. Acutally, better than they have felt in a long while.------Even though there are only a few medical journals studying cases where uveitis seem to be caused by Brimonidine, I think it's worth further investigation by the ophthalmology medical community.

We got treatment relatively quick, 4 days after the star of symptoms. All his other symptoms have greatly improved with the steroids and dilation over the past few days but still really blurry vision. Just hoping it gets better!

it'll take a while, both the inflammation and the dilation eyedrops cause blurry vision. I hope it's gotten better!!!!

Did the haziness ever go away for your husband?

Where do you work? I’m having major issues.

I was diagnosed with Uveitis on my right eye last month. Still using the steroid drops twice a day. I don’t feel any major pain, but every morning and night, my eye starts to get red again and feels very heavy and tired until I put the drop. Did blood test for infection, everything was negative. I’ve always been very healthy, I have no issue with anything. Still trying to figure out what’s wrong, it’s so frustrating. If anyone experienced the same please let me know how to deal with this :( how long do I need to use the drops til it gets better? Will it get better?

I have developed floaters after pfizer covid vaccine. What should I do?

Anyone has any ideas on what red vainy eyes, accompanied in blurry/ worsened vision, increased migranes, eye pain that fades in and out constantly topped with increase floaters and light sensitivity could be? My eyes had been in pain for over 3 years and I been to sevreal eye doc's who all assure me that I am fine, and are of no help. I am tired of being in pain and growing more and more helpless from the lack of information or help. Any help, pointers would be massivly helpful if anyone is going through the same thing (this all started started after I went off a pill, I never had any issues with my eyes and now I have to wear glasses all the time )
