Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It can cause redness, pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. Uveitis can result from infections, autoimmune disorders, or injuries, and if not treated promptly, it can lead to vision loss or complications like glaucoma or cataracts.
After treating over 1,000 uveitis patients, we found that uveitis stem from an immune system response that mistakenly attacks the uvea. But why does the immune system react this way? The root causes (Mental stress, Physical stress, Digestive issues, and Hidden infections) trigger this response, leading to eye inflammation.
To effectively treat uveitis, we must address its root causes, as only root-cause treatment leads to true recovery.
Possible root causes of uveitis in patients?
While our primary focus has been arthritis treatment for the past 9 years, uveitis is closely linked — nearly 10–25% of arthritis patients suffer from uveitis. With our experience with different patients, we have found that the following root causes are common among almost all of our patients. Which are:
1. Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or lupus can cause the body’s immune system to mistakenly attack the eye tissues, leading to uveitis.
2. Infections
Bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections (like tuberculosis, herpes, or toxoplasmosis) can trigger inflammation inside the eye, resulting in uveitis.
3. Trauma or Injury
An injury to the eye, whether from an accident, surgery, or foreign object, can disrupt normal eye function and spark an inflammatory response.
4. Systemic Inflammatory Diseases
Conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) can cause inflammation throughout the body, including the eyes.
5. Genetic Factors
Certain genetic markers (like HLA-B27) are associated with a higher risk of developing uveitis, especially in people with related autoimmune conditions.
6. Toxins or Drug Reactions
Exposure to toxins or a reaction to certain medications can sometimes trigger eye inflammation as a side effect.
7. Idiopathic Causes
In many cases, the exact cause of uveitis remains unknown (idiopathic), but underlying immune dysfunction is often suspected.
How We Treat Uveitis
We believe that Uveitis is an inflammatory eye disorder caused primarily by an aggravation of the Pitta dosha, often in association with Vata or Kapha, often triggered by mental stress, physical strain, poor diet and hidden infections. Instead of just managing symptoms, we take a personalized approach, identifying the root cause and underlying imbalances in each patient to promote long-term healing.
How we treat Uveitis?
Step 1 – Talk to the patient, do pulse diagnosis and try to find out the root cause of the disease.
Step 2 – Once root cause is identified, then we try to target the root cause with diet, lifestyle changes, ayurvedic therapies (if needed) and ayurvedic medications.
Step 3 – Once the root cause is resolved, the patient fully recovers. To prevent Uveitis from returning, we help patients understand their triggers and maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep their immune system balanced.
Effective treatment is a team effort between us and the patient
What We Offer:
- Honesty – We believe in complete transparency. We don’t make false promises; instead, we provide realistic expectations based on the patient’s condition. Our guidance is always truthful, ensuring the best possible path to recovery.
- Our Commitment – We assure you that we will use our best knowledge, experience, and dedication to provide the most effective treatment for your recovery.
- Targeting the root – We focus on treating the root cause of the disease rather than just providing temporary symptom relief. Our approach goes beyond arthritis treatment—we guide our patients toward overall health and well-being, ensuring long-term healing and balance.
- Three month approach – We are dedicated to providing the best possible treatment and expect patients to follow our guidance consistently for up to three months. When both the doctor and patient give 100% effort, significant relief is typically achieved. In rare cases where there is no improvement within this period, we may suggest exploring other options. However, such cases are uncommon, as we have been successfully treating arthritis patients for the past nine years.
What we want from our patient
- Trust & Honesty – Healing is a team effort. Patients should trust that we are fully committed to their recovery. At the same time, honesty is crucial—sharing accurate details about health and lifestyle helps us provide the best possible treatment. A strong partnership built on trust and transparency leads to better results.
- Positive Thinking – With so much information available today, the human mind is naturally drawn to negativity. However, a positive mindset is the foundation of healing—more important than any medication.
- Believe – Believe in your recovery, and your body will follow. Without belief, true healing is not possible.
- Discipline & Consistency – Successful recovery requires commitment. Following our guidance on diet, lifestyle, and mindset with discipline ensures the best results. Healing is a process, and consistency plays a key role in achieving lasting relief.
- Doubt – Taking treatment while constantly doubting its effectiveness can hinder recovery. Doubts create roadblocks, making the treatment a waste of time and money. If you’re unsure, it’s best to ask questions, clear your doubts, and commit with confidence before starting any treatment.
