ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To estimate the incidence of medication-free remission of chronic anterior uveitis and identify predictors thereof.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Participants

Patients diagnosed with anterior uveitis of longer than 3 months' duration followed up at United States tertiary uveitis care facilities.

Methods

Main outcome measures
