While the doctors can diagnose and monitor uveitis and prescribe medical treatments, it is essential for everyone on the care team, which includes parents and the patient, to recognize that, depending on the severity of the uveitis, other facets of the child’s life can be affected. If parents realize that there can be effects on the child’s psychological well-being, interpersonal relationships, recreational activities, and schoolwork effects, parents can help minimize these concerns. Doctors will try to educate the children about their disease, but parents can also play a role in helping the child understand their condition and the importance of the treatments. Generally, we advise parents to ensure their child enjoys as normal a life as possible, is physically active, eats a nutritious diet, and gets sufficient rest.  Parents are encouraged to communicate with the child’s teachers to ensure they know that the child has uveitis and can tailor the child’s academic experience as required. Parents should also help other children in the family understand the affected child’s condition.
