Abstract

Uveitis is one of the most important causes of blindness throughout the world. Its etiology and pathogenesis are rather complicated and have not been well understood. Chinese ophthalmologists have paid much attention to the studies on the pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of uveitis and great achievement has been obtained during recent years. However, there are still misunderstandings and undue treatment in the field of uveitis. A large number of uveitis entities are inappropriately or simply diagnosed as uveitis, thereby leading to a uniform treatment for these patients. Furthermore, abuse of corticosteroids is still rather common. Therefore, it is necessary to popularize the modern knowledge of uveitis among Chinese ophthalmologists and to improve basic and clinical uveitis studies in China.
