Activity Outline
Are some treatments better than others? What should I do when it keeps coming back? How can I tell when it’s more than just regular uveitis? This session will help you feel more in control when you see uveitis patients – learn how to treat, how to investigate, and when to refer.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish between acute and truly chronic anterior uveitis
- Recognise ocular signs and symptoms that indicate infectious and other secondary causes of uveitis
- Understand the principles of best practice steroid prescribing, including the monitoring and management of steroid responders
