Recent Advances in Uveitis

The uveitides are a collection of more than 30 diseases manifesting as intraocular inflammation. Diagnosis can be a challenge with different conditions presenting with similar signs and symptoms. Many of these conditions require prompt treatment using systemic and local therapy, with the aim of preventing vision loss. In this chapter we describe the recent advances in the diagnosis of uveitis, including the use of ultra-wide field imaging and optical coherence tomography angiography. We further focus on the management of specific infectious and non-infectious causes of uveitis, using both systemic immunosuppression and local treatment options.
