2. Increased Tear Production
Increased tear production is a common symptom that’s associated with uveitis, and if you experience this symptom it often goes together with some of the other ones that are mentioned on this list including redness and swelling in the eyes, as well as light sensitivity and headaches. An increased rate of fluid or tears coming from the eyes is the first sign that there’s something irritating the eyes, and this can point to an eye infection or condition like uveitis.
Sometimes it remains as only increased tear production, but as the condition progresses (especially if left untreated), it can later change to discharge in the eyes instead and the condition might worsen from there. A doctor’s appointment and extreme cleanliness and hygiene are recommended to decrease the risk of making an existing condition any worse if you suspect that uveitis or an eye infection might be the cause behind your symptoms.
