Abstract: | Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a relatively new immunomodulatory agent. The experience of MMF in inflammatory eye diseases is limited to a few case series. We report our experience of MMF in eight patients with uveitis. Control of inflammation was achieved in all patients. No patient had adverse side effects. Our study indicates that MMF is a safe and effective immunomodulatory agent. |
