SYMPATHETIC UVEITIS AND ITS PREVENTION

**Uveitis** is a large group of diseases that affect the uveal tract at its various levels. In addition, this area is an important part of the human visual apparatus, including light receptors. Most often, the disease occurs as a result of complications and spread of the inflammatory process. In practice, uveitis can also be a primary pathology. There are also cases of uveitis without other signs of the disease, common in other organs or tissues. However, most uveitis is provoked by various infections. Infectious-allergic uveitis causes pathological processes with a hereditary element of predisposition. Recently, variants of uveitis associated with diseases that have a genetic predisposition or are genetically determined have become quite common. This pattern implies the occurrence of pathologies associated with heredity, origin, as well as the presence of negative heredity and genes under predisposing factors. Traditionally, symptomatic uveitis, which develops in the presence of an eye infection, and infectious uveitis of an autoimmune nature, which occurs in the absence of an infectious agent in the conjunctiva and/or uveal tract, are distinguished. In this case, the infection itself can occur after the formation of uveitis.

The main symptoms of uveitis include: swelling of the eyelids, spreading to the surrounding conjunctiva, swelling over the entire surface of the eyelid, bursting pain when moving the eyeball. The disease can manifest itself as vascular lesions, hemorrhages, and the presence of a vitreous body. In the classic version of uveitis, the patient cannot see clearly in both eyes, which often forces him to focus on the affected eye, closing the sick or healthy one. Blueness, redness of the eye, tearing, photophobia, and irritation in the eyelid area may occur. There is a decrease in visual acuity, trembling in the eye, there may be pain in the head, decreased consciousness, paralysis of the optic nerves and other disorders.

Treatment of uveitis includes antibacterial agents to destroy infection in the organ, anti-inflammatory ointments and drops. Immunocorrectors and antihistamines are also used.
