Article Synopsis
- Childhood noninfectious uveitis can cause serious eye problems, with idiopathic chronic anterior uveitis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis being the most common types.
- The inflammation is a result of the immune system reacting to antigens in the eye, and to diagnose it, doctors assess the eye's anatomy, disease activity, and complications.
- While initial treatment usually involves glucocorticoids, ongoing management often requires other medications like methotrexate or anti-TNF therapies to avoid side effects and ensure better vision outcomes.
