Anterior Uveitis: These cases usually present with a painful red eye with intense photophobia (discomfort on looking at light) and watering. There can be small pus like material in the lower part behind the cornea in advanced stage (hypopyon). The eye can also be quiet and white, but have the signs of damage due to low-grade inflammation.

Intermediate Uveitis: In this type of uveitis, the intermediate portion of the uveal tract (ciliary body) is affected. The patient usually has symptoms of seeing black spots & floaters. Vision loss occurs when there are changes in the central area of the retina (macula) occurring secondary to inflammation.

Posterior Uveitis: This type of uveitis can present with a quiet looking eye or with minimal spillover inflammation in the anterior part. Inflammation may affect the retina (retinitis), choroid (choroiditis) or both (retinochoroiditis or chorioretinitis).

The inflammation may be localised (focal), at multiple sites (multifocal), widely spread (diffuse or disseminated). Patient usually complains of loss or reduction of central vision (when it involves the macula) or peripheral vision.

Panuveitis: When the entire uveal tract is involved, it is called panuveitis. This is also associated with inflammation in vitreous cavity. The condition often causes marked blurring of vision with varying degrees of pain and redness.
