Inflammation of the choroid layer of the eye, which can cause vision problems, floaters, or blurred vision if untreated.
From 'choroid' plus the medical suffix '-itis' (inflammation). This clinical term emerged in 19th-century medical literature as ophthalmology became more precise about classifying different eye inflammations.
Choroiditis can be sneaky—you might not realize your eye's blood vessel layer is inflamed until you notice vision changes, and it can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, or trauma to the eye!
