what is 'uveitis - inflammation of the middle layer of the eyeball '?

Uveitis specifically refers to inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, termed the "uvea" but in common usage may refer to any inflammatory process involving the interior of the eye.

Uveitis is estimated to be responsible for approximately 10% of the blindness in the United States.[citation needed] Uveitis requires an urgent referral and thorough examination by an ophthalmologist or optometrist, along with urgent treatment to control the inflammation.
