Abstract

AIMS: 1. To study the etiology, clinical features, systemic associations and severity of uveitis and analyse visual outcome.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective study which includes 50 patients who presented with anterior uveitis of various etiologies. Detailed clinical examination and relevant investigations were performed. They were managed according to improvement/worsening of the disease activity.

OBSERVATION AND RESULTS: Male preponderance is more than female with bilaterality more than unilateral. Visual outcome improved in 91.50% of the patients.

CONCLUSION: Uveitis threatens to become the major cause of ocular morbidity but patients get good final visual outcome with detailed clinical examination and initiation of proper management. Cases presented earlier even with severe uveitis had favourable response to treatment and good prognosis in visual outcome than those presented late with uveitic sequalae and with co-morbid risk factors irrespective of etiology.
