The treatment of uveitic cataract
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cataract formation is an especially common complication resulting from uveitis. It is rare in posterior uveitis, but occurs in up to 50% of patients with anterior and intermediate uveitis (21), and in nearly 80% of patients with Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHC). Duration and intensity of inflammation, and treatment, e.g. corticosteroids and previous vitrectomy, are critical determinants for cataract formation. Compared with the general population, cataract formation occurs at an earlier age in uveitis patients (36).
