Abstract

Uveitis remains a challenging field to the ophthalmologist as the disease causes significant morbidity and the use of traditional forms of treatment is restricted by limited effectiveness and considerable side effects. This article explores new agents used in the treatment of uveitis as well as the potential of agents used successfully in experimental uveitis. This paper also reviews agents in use for a long time but now used in novel ways.
