The incidence of uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis is 10–30%. Uveitis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis occurs in 80–93% of the type of chronic iridocyclitis. In 3–19.6% of cases, recurrent macular edema develops. In order to treat uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic immunosuppressive therapy, local and systemic administration of antiinflammatory drugs are used. Uveitis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis is asymptomatic in the early stages of the disease, so screening ophthalmological examination of children 2–4 times a year is recommended. Purpose.
