What is ankylosing spondylitis associated uveitis?

Ankylosing spondylitis associated with uveitis is an inflammation of the eye associated with ankylosing spondylitis.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the spine and pelvic region, while uveitis is inflammation of the uveal tissue within the eye. In some cases, patients with ankylosing spondylitis may develop uveitis, which may cause eye pain, vision loss, and red eye symptoms. Treatment usually includes the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and other appropriate eye treatments to reduce inflammation and prevent complications.
