Uveitis and Corneal Ulcer (Filamentous Fungas)

Is there any surgery option for uveitis and is it available in Pantai Hospital? Besides, if the patient has both uveitis and fungal ulcer in cornea, then is it possible to treat both at the same time? If not then how can we proceed and which doctor to consult?

Answer:

Uveitis is typically treated with medications such as corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs, and surgery is generally reserved for complications like cataracts or glaucoma, rather than for the uveitis itself. As for managing both uveitis and a fungal corneal ulcer simultaneously, it is possible and commonly done with careful coordination. The fungal ulcer would be treated with antifungal medications, while uveitis would be managed with anti-inflammatory drugs. Our experienced ophthalmology team can provide comprehensive care for both conditions, and we would recommend a consultation to assess your individual case and discuss the most appropriate treatment plan.
