Purpose: In uveitis, a prolonged implicit time of the cone b-wave is a characteristic electroretinogram (ERG) abnormality. We investigated whether this can improve or deteriorate over time and which clinical factors are associated with change.
Methods: Prospective cohort study.
Purpose: This study sought to investigate retinal function in patients with noninfectious uveitis by using full-field electroretinography (ERG) and correlate the ERG to disease duration and severity of inflammation.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients (n = 200) with noninfectious uveitis and a disease duration of <1 year (group A [n = 80]) and those with a disease duration of >5 years (group B [n = 120]) were included.
Background/aim: To survey the frequency, character, severity and impact of ocular pain on quality of life in adult patients with non-infectious uveitis (NIU).
Methods: This patient-requested cross-sectional survey study describes the results of three self-administered questionnaires (the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the McGill Pain Questionnaire Dutch Language Version) from 147 patients with NIUs from a university-based tertiary referral centre in Utrecht.
Results: The mean Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ) Ocular Pain Score of all patients with NIU was 72 (±24), which is significantly lower than an ocular disease-free reference group (90±15, P<0.
