Intermediate uveitis is a type of uveitis, which is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye. It is also known as pars planitis or cyclitis. It is characterized by the presence of white blood cells and inflammatory proteins in the vitreous humor, which is the gel-like substance that fills the middle of the eye. Symptoms of intermediate uveitis include blurred vision, floaters, and pain. Treatment typically involves corticosteroid eye drops or injections, as well as immunosuppressive medications.

The most common symptoms of intermediate uveitis include blurred vision, floaters, light sensitivity, and Redness in the eye. Other symptoms may include eye pain, headaches, and decreased vision.

The exact cause of intermediate uveitis is unknown, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder. Possible causes include:
* Infections, such as Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, herpes simplex virus, and syphilis
* Inflammatory conditions, such as sarcoidosis, ankylosing spondylitis, and inflammatory bowel disease
* Certain medications, such as interferon and infliximab
* Exposure to toxins, such as lead or arsenic
* Genetic factors, such as HLA-B27 gene
* Trauma or injury to the eye

1. Corticosteroid eye drops or injections: Corticosteroid eye drops or injections are the most common treatment for intermediate uveitis. These medications reduce inflammation and can help reduce pain and improve vision.

2. Immunosuppressive medications: Immunosuppressive medications, such as methotrexate, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil, can be used to reduce inflammation and prevent recurrences of uveitis.

3. Anti-inflammatory medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, can be used to reduce inflammation and pain.

4. Laser therapy: Laser therapy can be used to reduce inflammation and improve vision.

5. Surgery: Surgery may be necessary to repair any damage caused by the uveitis

1. Previous eye surgery
2. Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease
3. Infections such as toxoplasmosis, Lyme disease, and syphilis
4. Sarcoidosis
5. Trauma to the eye
6. Allergic reactions
7. Certain medications, such as interferon and infliximab
8. Genetic predisposition
