A large proportion of pediatric uveitis cases experienced complications of uveitis, mostly prior to presentation for subspecialty management. These often required surgical management, most commonly to clear the visual axis of cataract for visual rehabilitation and to prevent amblyopia. In most cases, tertiary management was associated with visual improvement. The results suggest that subspecialty management can result in improvement of the clinical course of pediatric uveitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
