Abstract

Behcet's disease is a chronic and recurrent multisystemic inflammatory disease, and its etiology and pathogenesis are not completely clarified. Behcet's uveitis is one of the common types of uveitis with the highest rate of untreatable blindness among various uveitis entities in China. The blindness in patients with Behcet's uveitis is commonly caused by retinal vascular occlusion, retinal atrophy and optic nerve atrophy. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to preserve and improve visual function in these patients. To provide general guidance and reference in the diagnosis and treatment of Behcet's uveitis, consensus opinions have been developed through an extensive investigation on this disease by the experts in the Uveitis and Ocular Immunology Group of Chinese Ophthalmologist Association and the Ocular Immunology Group of Ophthalmology Society of Chinese Medical Association.
