Advanced subspecialty training
A long-term fellowship at LVPEI.
Dr Shravya completed a long-term fellowship in Uveitis and Medical Retina at L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad (January 2023–December 2025), where she managed complex retinal and inflammatory eye conditions. This focused training underpins her clinical interest in uveitis and retina care.
Understanding uveitis
Inflammation inside the eye needs careful attention.
The uvea is the eye’s middle layer, made up of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Uveitis is inflammation inside the eye; it may be linked to infection, immune conditions, or have no identified cause. It can affect other eye structures too. Dr Shravya’s fellowship and clinical practice include uveitis and medical retina.
Intermediate
Involves the middle of the eye, including the vitreous.
Posterior
Affects structures at the back of the eye, such as the retina and choroid.
Panuveitis
Inflammation affects the front, middle, and back of the uvea.
Symptoms can include eye pain or redness, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and floaters. These symptoms can have different causes; prompt assessment by an ophthalmologist is important. Treatment depends on the type and cause of inflammation.
