you need to see an OPHTHALMOLOGIST, NOT AN OPTOMETRIST, you need a Medical doctor not someone who prescribes glasses. yes it would be time to get testing done and a complete medical history taken for yourself and your immediate family in order to determine what is causing your recurrent uveitis.

wish you the very best,
Mike
