I have Uveitis. I found out I had it when I was 27. I have had headaches all my life and the doctors believe the 2 may be related. They have no clue how I got this terrible eye disease. I have had every kind of blood test know to man done on me. The only things that have show up are "lyme disease" and "cat scratch fever". The uveitis had gotten so terrible that my vision was 20/400, in both eyes. I found a doctor in Arlington, TX. who implanted time-released steroids in my eyes, it lasts 3 yrs. and it WORKS. I had to have glaucoma and cataract surgery afterwards due to the steroid implants, but, I do have my vision back, it's been 3 1/2 yrs now and my vision is 20/30 in both eyes. Don't let Uveitis steal your vision away from you.
