Irritated blood vessels is the eye (uveitis)

[Guest guest]

My mother's eye has been acting up so she saw the Dr yesterday. Its

been red & hurts a lot, even with the steroids. He said it looks like

the blood vessels in the back of the eye are irritated. He does not

think (but could be) its related to her uveitis & said there is a

procedure to get a sample of the fluid out of the eye to check the

cells to hopefully see what's going on. We would have to go out of

town to see a specialist for all of this.

Anyone know what blood vessel problems in the back of the eye could

be, or had a sample taken from the back of the eye? My mom is scarred

to have this test done. Its her only good eye & doesn't know what to

do. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Thanks
