Service
Uveitis service at our center involves expert diagnosis and treatment of intraocular inflammation with the use of extensive laboratory investigations including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis, advanced ocular imaging techniques procedures such as Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Coherence Tomography with angiography (OCTA).

Intravitreal steroid
IVSI are a new way of treating eye conditions, particularly macular oedema in retinal vein occlusion, uveitis, and less commonly diabetic retinopathy and other conditions. The steroid drug is prepared in a tiny capsule, and this is inserted into the eye with a small injection.
