Is it Uveitis?

Hi all, first time poster. I’m currently being worked up for autoimmune and narrowing down to seronegative spondylarthropathies.

Last week, I started have weird symptoms in my right eye. Lid drooping, and several other odd sx.

Can someone tell me how uveitis feels? Does it cause ptosis(eyelid drooping)?

I would appreciate any info!

  1. Hi,
    I have had uveitis 3 times in 15 months. The main symptoms are pain in eye, redness in eye and sensitive to light. It takes a while to go normally weeks. I would recommend getting checked as my doctors have told me to go straight to A&E if I get any uveitis symptoms. Hope this helps!


    1. Hello, I am so sorry you are having this issue. I will say at the outset I have never had Uveitis. So I am not a great source. still I wanted to acknowledge and answer your question as best as I can. I thought the best way I could do that is to check in with the Mayo clinic website. I used this link:

      Reading though the information it does not appear that ptosis is associated with uveitis. Now again i am not an expert. So I know others will respond and will be able to give a more accurate account. Many blessings and I so hope things improve quickly.
