Climatotherapy as part of treatment of intraocular inflammatory diseases has a worldwide renaissance due to recent research. The stimulating climate in high mountains leads to induction of defence mechanisms in the organism. In these mechanisms participates in particular the neurovegetative, cardiovascular, thermoregulating and immune system. An important effect of climatotherapy is marked vascularization of tissues and increased ACTH and glucocorticoid secretion, and this along with the immunosuppressive action of light during heliotherapy leads to physiological immunosuppression. This fact is significant in particular in the treatment of uveitis and raises hope of reduced doses of corticoids and immunosuppressive drugs which reduces the risk of undesirable side-effects of this treatment. The results of climatotherapy is in many instances a reduced number of relapses of inflammatory diseases, shortening of the period of the acute attack and a milder course of the attack.
由于最近的研究，气候疗法作为眼内炎症性疾病治疗的一部分在全球范围内迎来了复兴。高山上刺激性的气候会促使机体诱导防御机制。在这些机制中，尤其涉及神经植物性、心血管、体温调节和免疫系统。气候疗法的一个重要作用是显著促进组织血管化以及增加促肾上腺皮质激素和糖皮质激素的分泌，并且这与日光疗法期间光线的免疫抑制作用一起导致生理性免疫抑制。这一事实在葡萄膜炎的治疗中尤为重要，并且带来了减少皮质类固醇和免疫抑制药物剂量的希望，从而降低了这种治疗产生不良副作用的风险。在许多情况下，气候疗法的结果是炎症性疾病的复发次数减少、急性发作期缩短以及发作过程更轻。
