Red alert
Uveitis
Melanie Shee
This piece is a collaboration between Theresa Easton and myself.
It is based on words by a group of people with Uveitis, who are part of Uveitis UK Facebook support group, use to describe the condition. I asked members to describe uveitis in one word or sentence. My description was ‘Stealer of Light’. I am someone who adored light and sun, I now struggle to bear it. Even just opening my front door requires polarised glasses, which I live in.
