what causes inflammation behind the eyes
It affects the front of your eye. Intermediate uveitis affects your ciliary body. Posterior uveitis affects the back of your eye. If your entire uvea is inflamed, you have pan-uveitis. What Causes It? Many things, actually. Theyâre all tied to inflammation. For example, a toxic substance could get into your eye and cause inflammation. So could a bruise to your eye. Uveitis may also be caused by an autoimmune disease, meaning your body is attacking itself. That attack causes inflammation, and so do infections and tumors in your eye or other parts of your body.
