- W2078488301 abstract "The term 'uveitis' covers a broad spectrum of ocular inflammation affecting the iris, ciliary body, and/or the choroid, all of which comprise the uveal tract. Severe cases of uveitis need be treated aggressively to prevent damage caused by chronic inflammation. Untreated or poorly managed cases can lead to ciliary body dysfunction, inadequate aqueous production, chorioretinal damage, and possibly blindness.There are many medications that can be used to treat uveitis. Corticosteroids are available in several formulations: topical drops, regional injections, oral and intravenous. Immunomodulatory agents that can be used for uveitis are antimetabolites, T-cell inhibitors, alkylating agents, and biologic response modifiers. These medications, their appropriate uses, and side effect monitoring will be detailed.There is a stepladder approach to treatment of ocular inflammation. Corticosteroids are the treatment of choice for treating acute flares. Steroid free remission is the goal of therapy and can be achieved with the use of chemotherapeutic agents. Which medications are appropriate and how to escalate therapy will be reviewed.Chronic systemic corticosteroid therapy is not an acceptable long treatment plan for uveitis, unless all other medications have failed. Steroid sparing immunosuppressive therapy should be pursued as soon as acute flares of uveitis have been controlled." @default.
