How long does it take for uveitis to heal?

It may take weeks to months for uveitis to heal. If it is serious enough, it may take even longer time to get healed. Once you find you have got uveitis, you'd better have it treated as early as possible. Otherwise it will cause serious problems if it is untreated for a long time. Talk to your doctor about your problem to seek for proper treatment for your uveitis. I hope you can have your uveitis treated soon. Good luck!

Why do i feel like something is in my eyes when i take my contacts out?

How to make your eyes not swollen in the morning?

Try and cut back on the salt in your diet because salt can actually cause the puffy bags under your eyes. After waking up, try putting on a cool, moist teabag (just dip 2 unused teabags into cold water and wring out any extra water) onto both of your eyes and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Make sure it covers the whole eye(s). It should take away some of the puffiness. If it doesn't work, try asking a doc for help. Hope this helps! :)

Does eye color affect night vision?

The darker the eyes, the more light is absorbed as light waves pass through the eye, and the less light is available to reflect within the eye. Light reflection (scatter) within the eye can cause susceptibility to glare (eg. sun or headlights) and to poor contrast discernment. Thus it seems that people with darker eyes may have better vision in high-glare situations, perhaps this makes them better night drivers, for example.Eye colour may also affect your colour vision. Here it seems that lighter eyes may provide some advantages.So it seems to me that blue-eyed people should really go for dark-eyed partners, this way one can pick the paint colours, and the other can drive home at night.
