Abstract

Uveitis is still a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to protean manifestations, varied aetiology, limitations of available investigations, absence of an ideal therapeutic agent. In recent years however there has been marked advances in understanding of various uveitic entities by several clinical studies. Newer investigations like quantiFERON TB gold test, molecular biologic tests like polymerase chain reaction of intraocular biopsy specimen and high resolution CT chest improved our armamentarium in uveitis. Moreover newer imaging techniques like OCT , OCTA has revolutionized the evaluation of posterior uveitis.There is also improvement in therapeutic strategy like intravitreal injections and sustained release implants. There is more familiarity with usage of immunomodulators. New therapeutic agents like biologics has emerged. In this instruction course experts will highlight such advances with case examples. There will be ample time for interactions
