New trends in effective monitoring of inflammation in uveitis

Abstract

Ocular inflammatory diseases account for a significant number of blind registrations worldwide, involving predominantly young patients. Differential diagnosis of uveitis cases maybe challenging as they are infrequent and share common features. With the evolution of multimodal imaging several new signs of inflammation have been described facilitating prompt and effective diagnosis. Non‐invasive modalities including OCT, OCT‐A and Autofluorescence along with traditional diagnostic techniques such as fluoresceine and indocyanine green angiography provide plausible evidence of activity or remission of inflammation which can be used to determine further management and follow‐up. This lecture will highlight imaging features essential in efficacious monitoring of uveitis.
