One case I can particularly remember well was about 3 years ago. After my optho had given me her home number (still have for emergency), I awoke on Thanksgiving morning. Sue was in the hospital at the time and I had that all too familiar pain in my left eye (normally is in the right). I called her because I was out of drops and it was literally getting worse by the minute. Mind you, I called her at her house about 4 A.M. She called in a script for me at and all night pharmacy and told me to see her at the hospital at about 7 A.M. By the time I got to the hospital just 3 hours later, it was in full blown flare and she treated me at the hospital (the same one Sue was a patient in) for an hour or 2 before she felt comfortable enough to send me home.
This is NOT something to mess with. I'm thankful I have a doctor who cared enough to get out of bed on Thanksgiving morning to see me. But it was a bit of an experience to have both me & my wife patients in the same hospital on the same day especially with my son being only about 10 - 11 years old. What do you do with him while you're there? It was a noteworthy situation, but my overall point is to treat uveitis with the UTMOST urgency. At least with me it can go from nothing to an emergency in just a matter of hours. I suspect I'm not the only one either.
