Uveitis is a very serious inflammation of uvea, which requires immediate treatment. Uvea is composed of iris, ciliary body and choroid. According to different part that inflammation occured, it is classified into different forms, anterior, intermediate or posterior uveitis. All types of uveitis develop blurry vision and floaters. Inflammation of uvea could definitely damage your vision. While I don't think an optometrist could diagnosis the disease. What an optometrist does is to test the vision and prescribe glasses for people to correct their vision. They might be trained recognize some common eye disease, such as cataract or glaucoma. They might provide some suggestions on healthy problems, yet as to curing a disease, I think it is better to see an ophthalmologist, especially in a serious case. The ophthalmologist is more profession on provide treatment for eye disease, while optometrist is good at vision test and using equipment to restore vision.
