The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the uvea, which consists of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It describes the structures and functions of these parts of the eye. The document also discusses uveitis, which is inflammation of the uvea. It describes the causes, symptoms, signs, and classifications of uveitis. Treatment options for uveitis including medical therapies like cycloplegics, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants as well as surgical interventions. Complications of uveitis that are discussed include secondary glaucoma, cataracts, macular edema, and retinal detachment.

Anatomy and Physiology Uvea consists of : Iris, Ciliary body, Choroid Vascular rich Tunica vasculosa Vascular layer ; the eyes major blood supply Primary function : supply nourishment to the ocular structure
Sagittal view of the eye IRIS Dividing aquous humour into Anterior Chamber and Posterior Chamber Central iris ( pupil ) control the amount of light entering the eye Miosis -- Mydriasis
CILIARY BODY Produce Aquous Humor Contribute the maintenance IOP Ciliary muscles for Accomodation CHOROID Nutrition to the external half of the retina
UVEITIS The inflammation of the uvea Causes : infectious, traumatic, neoplastic, autoimmune
Symptoms 1. Blurred Vision Refractive error associated with macular edem Opacities in the visual axis : inflammatory cells, fibrin, keratic precipitate (KP) Second cataract, vitreus debris
AQUOUS FLARE KERATIC PRECIPITATES PIGMENT DEPOSITS ON THE LENS POSTERIOR SYNECHIA KERATIC PRECIPITATES Classification Clinic. And pathologic grounds - Nongranulomatous - Granulomatous
Anatomical IUSG ( International Uveitis Study Group) Anterior uveitis Intermediate uveitis Posterior uveitis Panuveitis : diffuse uveitis
Anterior Uveitis Iritis Iridocyclitis keratouveitis sklero uveitis Sterile inflammatory reaction Some cases of unknown cause after resolve in 6 week (idiophatic iritis) Low grade inflammatory associated (idiophatic iritis) : JRA, Fuchs heterochromatic iridicyclitis
Intermediate Uveitis Externally eye appears quite Floaters Chronic Cystoid macular edema Posterior uveitis Quite appearancy or with infiltrate Retinitis, choroiditis, chorioretinitis Infectious : viral, bacterial, protozoa, fungal Cause of uveitis Clinical Laboratory and medical examination Ancillary testing - Fluorosein angiography (FFA) - USG - Vitreous biopsy (vitrectomy)
Treatment A. MEDICAL THERAPY 1. Cycloplegic - relieve pain - break synechia - prevent synechia 2. Corticosteroid a. Topical b. Perioculer c. Systemic d. Intravitreal 3. Immunosuppressive B. SURGICAL
CORTICOSTEROID The mainstay of uveitis therapy Potential side effect Specific indication 1. Active inflammation in the eye 2. Prevention or treatment cystoid macular edema 3. Reduction of inflammation of retina, choroid or optic nerve Route administration of steroid Topical : ED, EO, primary for anterior uveitis Periocular for intemediate uveitis Systemic, oral, intravenous for vision threatening chronic uveitis Intravitreal for chronic uveitis and cystoid macular edema IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE INDICATION : Vision threatening intraocular inflammation Reversibility of disease process Inadequate response to steroid treatment Contraindication of steroid (intorelable side effects)
