You are not alone, but we bet at times that it feels that way. Uveitis is a rare illness; you will probably not have met another individual or family with the illness except, perhaps, in your doctor's office!

You can meet others through the Uveitis Online Support Group, our online affiliate. The discussion board is sponsored by the Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Foundation.

There are discussion areas for:

Adults
