Ankylosing Spondylitis and Eye Inflammation: What You Should Know

Ankylosing spondylitis or AS is a type of inflammatory disease. This disease also refers to severe stiffness and inflammation in the spine. It causes aching and pain around the spine and pelvis. While Ankylosing spondylitis is common in the spine and large joints, it may also occur in other areas of the body, such as the eyes, in this case, it is known as Uveitis. Near about 40-50 percent of people with AS develop eye inflammation or uveitis. The prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis is most common in men 17-35 years of age. Moreover in women, the symptoms of this disorder often appear during pregnancy for the first time. Uveitis is an inflammation of the front part of the eye called the uvea, including the iris and ciliary body. The cause of uveitis is unknown, however, the immune response associated with ankylosing spondylitis that causes the spinal problems are most likely similar to the inflammation seen with uveitis. There are several other causes of uveitis as well, but this disease has more chances to occur when ankylosing spondylitis is present.

Why does eye inflammation (uveitis) develop?

AS is an elemental disease, which means it may impact multiple areas of the body and cause widespread inflammation. The main causative factor considered for this disease is the HLA-B27 gene, as it is proved that this gene is present in many people who have ankylosing spondylitis.

Other conditions that share the gene include inflammatory bowel disease and reactive arthritis. Uveitis proves to be the first sign that you have when a systemic condition such as AS pertains. Uveitis may also occur independently of other inflammatory conditions.

How are ankylosing spondylitis related Eye Problems Treated and Diagnosed? The diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis is made on the basis of the patient’s history, a physical examination, X-ray films, and laboratory tests.

A cure for ankylosing spondylitis does not currently exist in allopathy; however, effective treatment options can relieve pain and improve a person's condition. The general approach to treatment includes medication, physical therapy, and ayurvedic therapies. The major Ayurveda procedures which are done for the permanent treatment of uveitis in Ayurveda are Snehapana, Abhyanga & Swedana, Virechana, Nasya, Netradhara, Anjana & Aschyotana, Thakradhara and Tharpana

What Are the Symptoms of Anterior Uveitis?

Uveitis usually impacts one eye at a time, although it can develop in both the eyes. It may happen suddenly and become severe at a faster pace of time, or it can develop slowly and worsen over several weeks. The most common symptom of uveitis is redness in the front of the eye. Other symptoms of uveitis may include eye redness, photophobia or light sensitivity, pain in the eye, and blurred, cloudy vision. There also occurs a discharge from the eyes which is quite uncommon. The pain in the eye is deep which is made worse by being in contact with bright light. The symptoms usually develop over a few hours.

Diagnosis of uveitis

The primary step in the diagnosis of Uveitis is reviewing your medical history and a complete eye check-up. There are various tests to diagnose uveitis such as -

Eye chart test- This test is done to determine if your vision has declined or not. Fundoscopic exam- or ophthalmoscopy is performed to examine the back of the eye Ocular pressure test -  to measure the pressure of the eye. A slit lamp exam to examine the complete eye, including the blood vessels of your eye. Imaging tests, such as an X-ray or MRI, to view your joints and bones. In rare cases, the doctor may also perform a blood test to check for the HLA-B27 gene.

How is eye inflammation or Uveitis Treated-?

The uveitis can be treated very efficiently with the help of Ayurveda. There are various ayurvedic medicines and therapies that help in curing eye inflammation or uveitis. According to Ayurveda, the uveitis is caused by an imbalance in Vata and pitta dosha. This imbalance in Vata and pitta doshas can be caused by various factors such as an Imbalanced lifestyle, materialistic targets in life, disdain for life goals, eating habits, and disturbed sleeping patterns that work together to decrease the immunity of the cells. Therefore to cure this imbalance in these Vata and pitta doshas and to provide relief to your body from the cellular stress, a complete toxicity removal process is required for the body. This is done with the help of various ayurvedic and Panchakarma therapies.   The major Ayurveda therapies which are helpful in treating the eye inflammation being done in an Ayurvedic eye hospital are as follows:  Snehapana, Abhyanga, Swedana, Virechana, Nasya, Netradhara, Anjana & Aschyotana, Thakradhara, and Tharpana.

There are many symptoms of Vitamin A deficiency through which one can detect low levels of Vitamin A in the body. These symptoms are as follows,

Reduced vision in the night or dim light; which means that they will not be able to distinguish outlines of images in reduced illumination. They might however still go on to see normally during day light hours until the night blindness turns into some other severe form.

Dry eyes which could also lead to xeropthalmia; this is a severe form of night blindness in which the outer membrane of the eye, known as conjunctiva loses its goblet cells. These cells perform to release mucus in the eye, to keep it lubricated. The loss of goblet cells results in this condition – xeropthalmia in which the eye can no longer produce tears. These dead or lost cells can even accumulate on the outer layer of the eye resembling a form of debris. This debris can easily lead to blindness or any other infection.

Eye inflammation can also result from Vitamin A deficiency. Because of the inflammation, the eyelids and surrounding tissues along with eyes can get affected. This may include corneal inflammation as well.

The child or adult may experience susceptibility towards respiratory infection and urinary infections.

Growth can be halted in children due to vitamin A deficiency.

Skin might also show signs of Vitamin A deficiency. For example it may get rough and/or dry.
