Incidence of and Risk Factors for Cataract in Anterior Uveitis.

Cataract developed in 507 eyes (54/1000 eye-years, 95% CI 49-59).

Factors Predictive of Remission of Chronic Anterior Uveitis.

Approximately one third of patients with chronic anterior uveitis remit within 5 years.

Incidence and Outcome of Uveitic Glaucoma in Eyes With Intermediate, Posterior, or Panuveitis Followed up to 10 Years After Randomization to Fluocinolone Acetonide Implant or Systemic Therapy.

The implant has substantially higher risk of glaucoma than systemic therapy, a difference not entirely explained by posttreatment IOP elevation.

Cataract Surgery in Patients With Uveitis Treated With Systemic Therapy in the Multicenter Uveitis Steroid Treatment (MUST) Trial and Follow-up Study: Risk Factors and Outcomes.

Among patients with intermediate, posterior, and panuveitides, treated with oral corticosteroids and immunosuppression, there is a substantial long-term risk of cataract surgery. Visual acuity outcomes after cataract surgery are generally good.

The Rate of Failure of Trabeculectomy and Tube Shunt Surgery in Eyes with Uveitic Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.

Tube shunt and Trab-MMC fail frequently with similar incidences when done as the first glaucoma surgery among eyes with uveitis over 5 years of follow-up, but there were more complete successes in the Trab-MMC group…
