Keratouveitis
Keratouveitis is inflammation involving both the cornea and the uvea of the eye.
(That this term concerns the cornea of the eye is indicated by the prefix "kerat-" which refers to the cornea of the eye, also applied to other terms in this section - as listed on the left).
See for comparison the terms that refer to inflammation of the cornea specifically (keratitis) and the uvea specifically (uveitis).
