Internal ocular inflammation is oftentimes called uveitis.
While the specific cause of uveitis may be unknown, it is often caused by a robust response by your own body’s immune system to an external pathogen or other internal disease process.
Uveitis can have many causes, including eye injury and inflammatory diseases.
Exposure to toxic chemicals such as pesticides and acids used in manufacturing processes also can cause uveitis.
