J Inflamm Res. 2022 Nov 28:15:6439-6451. doi: 10.2147/JIR.S288294. eCollection 2022.

Abstract

Non-infectious uveitis represents a heterogenous group of immune-mediated ocular diseases, which can be associated with underlying systemic disease. While the initial choice of treatment of non-infectious uveitis depends on a number of factors such as anatomical location and degree of inflammation, topical therapies often remain the initial choice of non-invasive therapy. In this narrative review, we aim to describe the literature on non-infectious uveitis, with specific focus on the current perspective on topical anti-inflammatory therapy.

Keywords: non-infectious uveitis; topical anti-inflammatory therapy; topical corticosteroids; topical cycloplegics; topical non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.
