A Clinical Study of Anterior Uveitis at India

Pawan Kumar Jarwal

Uveitis” is one of the most common forms of intraocular inflammation and affects mainly children and young adults. It includes a large group of intraocular inflammatory diseases of diverse etiology.1 The cause of inflammation might be infections agent or trauma, but in most cases the underlying mechanism appears to be autoimmune in nature.2 The anterior uveitis can be categorized as iritis, anterior cyclitis and iridocyclitis. It often causes a painful red eye. Patients with anterior uveitis complain of redness, photophobia, tearing and blurred vision.3 Acute anterior uveitis causes mild vision loss but still contributes significantly to the total burden. It causes vision loss both directly through inflammation and via complications such as macular edema, glaucoma, cataract, and others. The treatment for uveitis itself can result in both ocular and systemic complications.4 The morbidity associated with the disease is moderately high.
