Who is at Risk for Uveitis?

Uveitis can affect anyone at any age, but it is most commonly seen in the forth decade of life. It affects children, working adults, and senior citizens. There is a higher prevalence in women. It is a leading cause of blindness in the United States and in the world. Working age Americans are most likely to get uveitis. As we age, however, we are more likely to get uveitis in both eyes and panuveitis (uveitis that affects all of the uvea).
