Get StartedTests and diagnosis
By Mayo Clinic staffWhen you visit an eye specialist (ophthalmologist), expect a complete eye exam and be prepared to answer questions related to your signs, symptoms and health history.
If the ophthalmologist suspects an underlying condition to be the cause of your uveitis, he or she may refer you to another doctor for a general medical examination and special laboratory tests. Often, it's difficult to find a specific cause for uveitis. However, your doctor will make every effort to determine whether your uveitis has an infectious cause or results from some other disease.
