Refractive errors are often caused by abnormalities in the eye’s shape, affecting how light is focused onto the retina. They come in many forms, including astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. Left untreated, they can lead to symptoms like blurred vision and eye strain, causing difficulties in performing day-to-day tasks like reading or driving.

Uveitis is characterized by the inflammation of the uvea, the layer behind the white part of the eye. It can be categorized into different types, particularly:

• Iritis – inflammation of the iris, the colored part of the eye
• Intermediate Uveitis – inflammation of the ciliary body, located between the iris and the lens
• Retinitis or Choroiditis – inflammation of the retina and choroid, the inner layers of the eye
• Vasculitis – inflammation of the blood vessels in the eye

Symptoms of uveitis include eye redness, eye pain, light sensitivity, glare, hypopyon (white area in the lower part of the iris), and blurred vision. People with uveitis typically also see tiny spots or cobweb-like strings in their field of vision.

Blepharitis refers to chronic inflammation of the eyelids. It is often caused by bacterial infection or other related factors and can lead to redness, irritation, and itching. This condition can be classified as anterior blepharitis (affecting the outer eyelids) and posterior blepharitis (affecting the inner eyelids).
