VITRECTOMY IN CHRONIC UVEITIS
Authors
Abstract:
Vitrectomy was performed on 25 eyes in 21 patients with chronic uveitis from various etiologies. Postoperative follow up averaged 22.8 months with visual improvement in 24 of 25 eyes. In this retrospective study, the techniques employed and the beneficial effect of vitrectomy alone or vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery (Iensectomy in most cases) on improving vision and decreasing the number and severity of recurrent attacks of uveitis are reviewed. Also, the indications of surgery, the effect of the surgical procedure on intraocular pressure, the prognostic factors and the management of complications are discussed.

Non-infectious inflammation associated with intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections has been reported recently. Failure to recognize this sterile inflammation can result in unnecessary treatment for endophthalmitis. We describe a case of acute noninfective intraocular inflammation following the third intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for nonischemic central retinal ve...

The present study was conducted as the first phase of an investigation of the pathogenesis of equine uveitis. Two groups of Shetland ponies were exposed to leptospires and subsequently proved to have been infected. Weekly ocular examinations and fundic photography were used to study the development of lesions and to establish their role in the genesis of equine chronic uveitis. Exacerbations du...
