Prognosis
The prognosis is variable and depends upon the aetiology, location, and severity of uveitis. Panuveitis, intermediate uveitis, and posterior uveitis resulting in retinal, choroidal, or optic nerve damage tend to result in a worse outcome than anterior uveitis. In a large study of uveitis patients, 35% had visual loss of >20/60 in at least one eye, whereas 22% became unilaterally or bilaterally blind.[47]
