Mr. S. S., a thirty-four-year-old male (Patient ID: 51597), visited the Life Force Homeopathy Chembur clinic on May 19, 2023, with his primary complaint of recurrent uveitis. The condition has persisted since 2011, with episodes recurring (variably) once every 6–18 months. His current episode started on 9th May 2023, characterized by photosensitivity and eye redness. He was using prednisolone eye drops and oral steroids (Wysolone 40 mg) during episodes along with homatropine (anticholinergic) drops in his right eye from May 2023 and had used atropine eye drops from 5-7 days in May 2023.
The patient also reported a positive HLA B27 diagnosis.
Along with uveitis, the patient also suffered from hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) diagnosed a year prior. He also had hyperuricemia (high uric acid) since May 2022. His past medications included Fenofibrate for cholesterol and Febustat for uric acid management.
Additionally, he developed erectile dysfunction in May 2023.
The patient, a nonvegetarian, had an average appetite and thirst, consuming approximately 2 liters of water daily. He experienced profuse generalized perspiration and was ambithermal, capable of tolerating both temperature extremes. His bowel movements were satisfactory, and he had no significant urinary symptoms.
The patient is an engineer, living with his parents and wife, and has a 2.5-year-old son. His marital life showed some minor disputes, and he described himself as introverted. Previously enjoying painting, he had discontinued the hobby. Professionally, he experienced no major stress.
His family history revealed significant medical patterns. His father had ankylosing spondylitis, and his paternal uncle also suffered from the same condition. His mother had hypertension and his paternal aunt had osteoarthritis. Notably, his father tested positive for HLA B27, similar to the patient.
The patient had undergone a hair transplant, which was unsuccessful, and he currently uses a wig. He had a history of dengue and typhoid infections.
After reviewing the case, Dr. Shah prescribed Carcinosin 30C.

From September 2024 to December 2024, the patient showed consistent improvement, and there were no episodes of uveitis reported.
