Abstract

The most frequent complications of uveitis are cataract, glaucoma and uveitic macular oedema.The successful management of cataract requires uveitis remission for at least 3 months before surgery and perioperative intensification of anti‐inflammatory medication in order to prevent uveitis recurrences. Intraoperative strategy is also important for the final outcome.Uveitic glaucoma management comprises medical and surgical treatment, considering that about 30% of cases will need invasive methods.Uveitic macular oedema is mainly seen in intermediate, posterior or panuveitis. The mainstay of treatment is corticosteroids and the therapeutic role of immunosuppressives and biological agents will also be discussed.
