What does UVEAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to the uvea, the pigmented middle layer of the eye that lies between the outer sclera and the inner retina.
Doctors use uveal specifically when describing structures, diseases, or tumors connected to this middle layer, such as uveal melanoma, a rare cancer that begins in the eye's pigmented tissue. Because the uvea includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid together, a uveal condition can affect focus, blood supply to the retina, or the eye's response to light depending on which part is involved. Inflammation of this layer, called uveitis, is one of the most common uveal disorders that eye specialists treat.
