Characteristics of ocular hypertension and uveitic glaucoma amongst patients with noninfectious uveitis: a retrospective cohort study

CONCLUSION: A quarter of patients with NIU in this study developed ocular hypertension or uveitic glaucoma. Approximately half of the patients with ocular hypertension or uveitic glaucoma were deemed to be corticosteroid responders. Baseline and last visual acuity outcomes are better amongst ocular hypertension patients compared with those with uveitic glaucoma. Poor baseline visual acuity and panuveitis are predictors of worse vision at last follow-up. Additionally, diagnosis of uveitic glaucoma was a significant predictor of requirement for glaucoma surgery.PMID:38431271 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcjo.2024.02.003
