Uveitis

Abstract

This is an exciting time in the field of uveitis. There has been an explosion in novel therapies and a wealth of new research in the past several years, perhaps more so than in any other field within ophthalmology. Uveitis is a broad, diverse, heterogenous field that encompasses infectious, inflammatory and malignant disorders that affect all parts of the eye and orbit. This chapter will highlight clinical studies on the treatment of noninfectious causes of uveitis. The studies presented here focus primarily on uveitis involving the posterior segment, as this subset of inflammation is associated with higher rates of ocular complications and vision loss, and is more difficult to control.
