Hello
Uveitis is an inflammation of the iris,ciliary body &/or the choroid due to infection/inflammation.What type is your uveitis?anterior or posterior?
Have you undergone any blood or further eye investigations?Do you have any systemic(body) problems like joint pains/mouth ulcers/stomach problems?
I would suggest you to see the ophthalmologist if these have not been considered.
Anti-oxidants and vitamins are under research and are said to be beneficial in uveitis.
