Eye diseases- There are many diseases which can take away the eyesight if not treated early. One such eye disease is autoimmune uveitis, which is affecting the eyes of anyone from children to adults.
This disease is seen in people between the ages of 20 and 50 years
According to health experts, this disease is especially seen in young people i.e. people between the ages of 20 and 50, which is dangerous. However, for the first time, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi has done important research on this disease, which will not only make it easier to identify, but also make it easier to treat. Autoimmune uveitis occurs suddenly on its own and instead of the body's immune system protecting it, it attacks and destroys healthy eye cells.
There is severe swelling in the eyes
This causes severe inflammation in the eyes. Along with pain, there is redness in the eyes, vision becomes blurred, there is difficulty in seeing light, vision gradually starts deteriorating. Darkness or black spots start appearing in front of the eyes. Let us tell you that if it is not treated immediately, it can also make you completely blind. For the first time, the Department of Biotechnology and Department of Ophthalmology of Delhi AIIMS have jointly conducted a study on autoimmune uveitis on such a large scale.

In this regard, Associate Professor Dr. Rupesh Kumar Srivastava said that there are two types of cells in our body, one is good cells and the other is T-17 cells, whose presence causes inflammation. AIIMS tested for the first time in the lab whether these two cells are also present in the eye fluid, and found that yes, they are present and they work in the same way as other auto-immune cells do.
Dr. Rupesh says that for the first time, fluid samples were taken from patients with poor eyesight who came to AIIMS and were thoroughly examined, in which it was found that T17 or Treg cells, which promote inflammation, were basically developed in this fluid. This proved that uveitis progresses like other autoimmune diseases. Dr. Chawla says that this is initial research, more research and studies are yet to be done on this, so that necessary measures can be found to prevent this never-ending and sudden disease.
