Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Inflammatory eye diseases

Context:

  • Intermediate uveitis accounts for 10% of clinic cases.
  • Study included 49 patients (83 eyes) over 6 months to 12 years.
  • Bilateral involvement common (34 patients).

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of intermediate uveitis.
  • To identify common complications and treatment responses.

Summary:

  • Vitreous opacities were universal.
  • Cystoid macular edema (CME) affected 30%, significantly reducing visual acuity.
  • Oral corticosteroids improved vision in 14 patients with CME; long-term therapy with corticosteroids and Ciclosporin-A was rarely needed.

Impact:

  • Highlights the significant impact of CME in intermediate uveitis.
  • Demonstrates the efficacy of corticosteroid therapy for CME.
  • Provides long-term outcome data for intermediate uveitis patients.
