Refractory anterior uveitis

Treatment of anterior uveitis should be etiological when a cause has been identified and provided for any symptomatic case, using topical corticosteroids and mydriatics/cycloplegics. Periocular and systemic agents are then used in certified cases that prove to be refractory to first-line therapy. If anterior uveitis is still rebellious to treatment, the physician should evaluate the accuracy of the present therapy in case of an unsuspected cause of uveitis, or a particularly severe or chronic intraocular inflammation.
