Main Objective: To prospectively assess the cost-consequence of a standardized diagnostic strategy as to compared to an open one for the etiological diagnosis of uveitis.
Design: This was a prospective, non-inferiority, multicentre, randomized controlled trial.
Methods: We included all consecutive patients with uveitis who had visited at least one of the Departments of Ophthalmology.
Objective: To assess the cytological diagnosis and follow-up of patients suffering from vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) diagnosed in our institution.
Methods And Results: From January 2010 to June 2017, we collected 15 patients with VRL. Twelve patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); of these, 11 had primary central nervous system (CNS) DLBCL, one had ocular localisation of follicular lymphoma, one had extranodal NK/T-cell nasal type lymphoma and one had chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Purpose: ULISSE is the only study that prospectively assessed the efficiency of a standardized strategy, compared to an open strategy for the etiologic diagnosis of uveitis. Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic yield of the tests prescribed in the ULISSE study to clarify their relevance.
Methods: ULISSE is a non-inferiority, prospective, multicenter and cluster randomized study.
Purpose: To prospectively assess the efficiency of a standardized diagnostic approach, compared to an open strategy, for the etiologic diagnosis of uveitis.
Design: Noninferiority, prospective, multicenter, clustered randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Consecutive patients with uveitis, who visited 1 of the participating departments of ophthalmology, were included.
Aims: To improve the cytological diagnosis of retinal lymphoma on vitreous fluid using improved cell collection and systematic analyses.
Methods And Results: Since October 2010, we have developed and optimized in our department a method with which to perform the diagnosis of retinal lymphoma. The vitreous sample was collected in a tube containing RPMI-1640 medium, decomplemented fetal bovine serum, and gentamicin.
