Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNFi) in treating non-infectious uveitis (NIU) over a period from 2001 to 2018 in Switzerland.
- The findings show significant improvements in visual acuity and a substantial reduction in patients needing systemic corticosteroids, although many eyes had pre-existing complications.
- Despite the positive outcomes, new complications like macular edema still occurred, emphasizing the need for timely initiation of TNFi therapy and further research on its impacts.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNFi) are for treating uveitic macular edema (ME) that doesn't respond to traditional medications (csDMARDs).
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis on 35 eyes of 26 patients over 4 years, measuring changes in central retinal thickness (CRT), visual acuity, and the need for corticosteroids.
- Results showed a significant decrease in CRT and improvement in visual acuity, plus a reduction in patients needing corticosteroids, indicating that TNFi can be beneficial for managing uveitic ME over the long term, although some patients still required additional treatments.
