Dear doctor I am 48,suffering from uveitis to right eye since last 3 years.I have since in touch with healthcaremagic and seeking its advice.My reports are loaded about this to healthcaremagic site. I had to undergo cataract surgery 2years ago. Current problems are 1.eye remiains heavy, 2.The muscles around the eye till cheek are feeled to be strained 3.Eye is never red but gets tired fast after computer work (even though I have less such work),u tube video watching etc. initially doctor prescribed Pred Forte.once in a day and after one year as and when eye .is stressed. But my problem now is still eye remiains heavy.and all above problems are repetative. Does this disease remains unrecovered life long?? does it affects the eye slowly detoriating its efficiency? are there food supplements which will give me relief?? regards, ms,abhyankar
