What is Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease?

This disease happens when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks a specific type of pigment cells called "melanocytes". The eyes are often affected, causing blurred vision, flashing lights, or floaters. Other areas that can be affected include the inner ear, causing hearing loss. The surface layer of the brain can also be affected, causing headaches and neck stiffness.

Typical Symptoms of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease
