Abstract
The clinical evaluation of an ocular disease in a patient with uveitis is often difficult due to opacities of the dioptric media. Hence standardized echography can be very important in the study of uveitis. The most common macular lesion associated with uveitis being the macular edema. Our results are presented from 42 eyes with uveitis. Our study points out a relation between visual acuity and retino-choroidal thickness in the macular area. In particular, our results show that a thickening of the macula may appear before a decrease in visual acuity.
