Abstract

Uncontrolled, chronic, or severe forms of uveitis often result in structural damage to the various intraocular tissues. Sequelae common to all forms of uveitis include glaucoma, synechiae, cataract, pupillary membranes, vitreous opacification, epiretinal membranes, subretinal neovascular membranes, macular edema and retinal detachment (Table 6.1). Many of these complications can be treated surgically.
