Hi doctor,
I was diagnosed with bilateral anterior uveitis two months back. I was put on Pred Forte. After 20 days of which only occasional AC cells were seen in right eye with no flare. Left eye was clear, but few mid vitreous cells were seen which were not present before. Hence, I was still on Pred Forte 2 times a day. A month back few vitreous cells were seen in right and left eye with no vitritis, no intraocular infection and no AC inflammation. Hence, everything was stopped. But, when I went again to the doctor, the following were the findings of my right eye. 1+ vitreous cell, with stable inflammation and shoe horse tear with minimal elevation which got treated by barrage laser. In left eye, there were traces of vitreous cells with no vitritis. Pred Forte was advised every fourth hourly for right eye. Can these vitreous cells be caused by anterior uveitis itself? As according to my doctor, I do not have vitritis too and I am consulting a uveitis specialist? Should I continue Pred Forte till all vitreous cells go away?

Hi doctor,
Thanks for the reply. The reason for this confusion is that I got my retinal tear treated by a retina specialist as advised by my doctor. The strange part is that he had written panuveitis in the right eye. I am confused whether I have intermediate and posterior uvietis too. When I reached my uveitis specialist he said that is not the case. Please clarify my doubt.
