Autoimmune Uveitis

Autoimmune uveitis (AU) is an important cause of blindness and should be diagnosed as early as possible and efficiently treated in order to avoid it. It can be due to an isolated type of autoimmune reaction against the uveal components or be related to or precede a known systemic autoimmune disease. A diagnosis of a systemic autoimmune disease should be investigated, and the patient’s treatment should be tuned in accordance with the other organs involved. The autoimmune diseases where uveitis is most commonly seen are spondyloarthropathies inflammatory bowel disorders, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Behcet’s disease, and sarcoidosis.
