Anatomic Classification | Patient-Reported Symptoms | Exam Findings |
---|---|---|
Anterior | Pain, redness, photophobia (chronic anterior uveitis may lack these) Variable degree of visual disturbance | Ciliary flush with acute onset. Chronic findings: cataract, synechiae, keratic precipitates, and band keratopathy |
Intermediate | Blurry vision, floaters, distortion of central vision No pain or photophobia typically | Vitritis, with minimal involvement of anterior chamber May symptomatically present unilaterally, but evidence of bilateral disease in 80% on exam |
Posterior | Blurred vision, floaters, scotomata No pain or photophobia typically | Evidence suggestive of inflammatory disease at choroid, retina, and/or retinal vessels by indirect ophthalmoscopy or fluorescein angiography |
Panuveitis | Any combination of above | Any combination of abov |
How do the typical presenting symptoms differ among anterior intermediate posterior uveitis?
