Timing of Quiescence and Uveitis Recurrences After Cataract Surgery in Patients with a History of Uveitis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In patients with a history of uveitis, a 60-90-day period of quiescence prior to cataract surgery has been historically recommended. These recommendations were based mostly on expert opinion. The purpose of this study was to further examine and understand uveitis quiescence timing and outcomes of eyes that do have a recurrence of uveitis after cataract surgery.

Methods

Patients with a history of uveitis undergoing cataract surgery at the University of Colorado Sue-Anschutz Rodgers Eye Center from 2014 to 2018 were studied. Main outcome measures were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 6 months, intraocular pressure (IOP) at 6 months, and recurrences of uveitis within 90 days of surgery.
