It consists of the iris in the front, the ciliary body a little further back (pars plicata + pars plana,) and the choroid at the back behind the retina. WHAT IS UVEITIS? Uveitis is a broad term referring to inflammation of any of the components of the uvea. WHAT TERMS ARE USED? Iritis occurs when the iris is inflamed. Cyclitis occurs when the ciliary body is inflamed. Pars planitis (peripheral uveitis) occurs when the pars plana is inflamed. Choroiditis occurs when the choroid is inflamed. Panuveitis refers to inflammation of all the components together DOES THE UVEA GET INFLAMED ON ITS OWN? Not always. Although pure forms do occur there can be associated inflammations of neighboring structures e.g. keratouveitis = inflammation of the cornea and uvea together, retinochoroiditis = inflammation of the retina and choroid together. Also uveitis is often associated with vitritis (inflammation of the vitreous gel.) WHAT IS COMMON IRITIS?

The iris is a circular muscle near the front of the eye. Besides giving colour to the eye, the iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye through the pupil. The iris is located behind the cornea (the clear protective layer of the eye) and just in front of the focusing lens. To see clearly, the proper amount of light must enter the eye. Just as the shutter controls the amount of light that enters a camera, the iris regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. The iris contains two muscles that control the size of the pupil opening. When too much light is present, the muscles cause the pupil to become smaller to reduce excessive light and glare. In dim light or at night, the muscles make the pupil larger to increase the amount of light entering the eye.
