Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Uveitis encompasses a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and etiological factors.
  • Accurate etiological diagnosis is achieved in approximately 50% of uveitis cases, necessitating further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically explain the principal known causes of uveitis.
  • To classify uveitis based on the primary anatomical region of the eye affected.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of existing literature on uveitis.
  • Classification of uveitis based on ocular structures involved (anterior, intermediate, posterior, or panuveitis).

Main Results:

  • Etiological research for uveitis is complex and often requires extensive investigation.

  • Categorization by affected eye zone aids in understanding the diverse origins of uveitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding the diverse origins of uveitis is crucial for effective management.
    • A classification system based on ocular anatomy can help elucidate the causes of uveitis.
