Abstract
Background:
Three cases of Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis (FHU) are described, 2 with peripheral retinal breaks and 1 with retinal dialysis.
Methods:
Argon laser photocoagulation was applied around the breaks and the dialysis.
Results:
The retinal breaks and dialysis were successfully photocoagulated.
Interpretation:
Thorough inspection of the fundus, including the peripheral retina, is important in patients with FHU to exclude a retinal break or a dialysis.
