Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello,
I reviewed the history. The hazy vision is not related to removal of tooth. As your optometrist or ophthalmologist has noted this is because of uveitis.
Uveitis is a inflammatory condition of the uvea and the causes are very wide. The most common being allergic reaction to infection in the body. The treatment of the condition is by using steroid eye drops to control inflammation and antiglaucoma medications to control the raised intraocular pressure.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for treatmetn and do atttend follow up regularly to prevent any complications.

Thank you
