Fight Uveitis Blindness!

OVERVIEW

Building the evidence base for uveitis

Uveitis is a group of inflammatory eye diseases that can affect people of all ages, from young children to the elderly, and severe disease can cause vision loss or blindness. Because individual uveitis syndromes are often rare, there are few good quality publications on them in the medical literature.

A registry lets a large amount of data be collected from many centres around the world. The platform can be accessed online from anywhere, the dataset will keep growing over time, and it is already shared with Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.
