Abstract
To study clinical presentation, complications, cause, accurate diagnosis and response to treatment and prognosis in terms of visual outcome in cases of anterior uveitis. It is clinical prospective study of 50 patients clinically presenting with anterior uveitis was done. All patients underwent a thorough systemic and ocular examination. Tailored laboratory investigations were done in each case to facilitate diagnosis. Patients were put on treatment and were followed up at regular intervals over a period of 6 months. Aetiology remained undetermined in most cases. Most common cause in present study was blunt trauma followed by phacolytic anterior uveitis. Most common complications were persistent posterior synechiae and complicated cataract. Majority of the patients had acute presentation. 90% of the patients presented with unilateral ocular involvement, among them right eye involvement was slightly more than the left eye involvement in the ratio of 5:4. Both eye involvement was seen in 10% of the patients, all of them had either chronic or recurrent disease and four of them had identifiable aetiology. Nongranulomatous inflammation was the commonest form accounting for90% of the cases. Granulomatous inflammation was seen only in chronic cases excepting one patient who had recurrent anterior uveitis. Majority of patients responded well to treatment. 70.91% of the patients regained visual acuity of 6/9 or better. Early diagnosis and treatment of patients results in good visual prognosis and is the key in management of anterior uveitis.
