Purpose: To compare iridian Swept-Source Anterior Segment OCT (SS-AS-OCT) and microbiological features in Aqueous Humor (AH) in patients with Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome (FUS) and Posner-Schlossman Syndrome (PSS).
Methods: Comparative, retrospective-prospective single center study examining 131 eyes from 66 patients, including 33 eyes with PSS, 37 eyes with FUS, and 61 healthy eyes. AH samples were collected from affected eyes in all patients.
Iridian anterior segment OCT in rubella uveitis syndrome and cytomegalovirus anterior uveitis: a comparative study.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
November 2022
Purpose: To compare iris affectation in cytomegalovirus anterior uveitis (CMVAU), rubella virus-associated uveitis (RVU), and healthy contralateral eyes, using swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-AS-OCT).
Materials And Methods: A comparative, transversal, retrospective study examining 60 eyes from 30 patients-18 eyes (17 patients) with CMVAU, 14 eyes (13 patients) with RVU, and 28 healthy eyes-was performed. Six-millimeter cross-sectional SS-AS-OCT B-scans were obtained in each iris quadrant.
Background In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of ocular complications on visual outcomes in uveitis. Methodology We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 474 uveitis patients (655 eyes) with a mean age of 52.4 years who were followed for a median of 32 months (range: 8-80 months).

Definitive diagnosis requires the identification of organisms in ocular tissues or fluids, but samples are often difficult to obtain, and biopsy may be hard to justify. We describe a 50-years-old Maghreb male, who presented a multifocal choroiditis associated with a choroidal tuberculoma on the left eye.

- - The study investigates clinical and epidemiological features of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease in Spain, analyzing data from 112 patients over a minimum of six months.
- - The majority of participants were women (83.9%) with an average age of 37.5 years; the disease was often classified as incomplete acute, with corticosteroids being the most common treatment.
- - Findings indicate that VKH patients generally experience good visual outcomes, though complications like cataracts and ocular hypertension are prevalent.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the drug retention rate (DRR) and the factors influencing the discontinuation of adalimumab (ADA) treatment for noninfectious uveitis (NIU) in real-world settings across Spain.
- A total of 392 patients were analyzed, with a median follow-up of about 49 months, revealing a DRR of 93% at 6 months but dropping to about 54% after 5 years; discontinuation reasons included lack of efficacy and adverse events.
- The research employed various statistical methods to analyze predictors for discontinuation, finding that starting ADA in non-biotherapy-naive patients was associated with shorter drug retention time.
Risk factors for ocular complications in adult patients with uveitis.
Eur J Ophthalmol
November 2020
Purpose: To report risk factors for ocular complications in adults with uveitis.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 653 patients with uveitis (869 eyes) followed up for at least 1 month attended between May 1989 and December 2012.
Results: After a median follow-up of 16 months (interquartile range = 3-59), 43.
