Anterior uveitis, also known as iritis, often presents with a painful and red eye, typically affecting only one eye (unilateral). Patients may also exhibit photophobia (light sensitivity) and have a potential decrease in visual acuity. These symptoms help distinguish it from other conditions such as conjunctivitis, which does not typically cause severe pain or decreased vision.
