Inflammatory Eye Disease Week: A Call for Awareness and Action #United_States #Chicago #Uveitis #Prevent_Blindness #Keenova_Therapeutics
Borrelia can invade the eye and trigger #uveitis.
A recognised pattern is intermediate uveitis with vitritis and retinal vasculitis. Lyme spirochaetes were first reported in human vitreous in 1985. This is uncommon, but potentially sight-threatening.
On #WorldArthritisDay, we recognise the impact of arthritis on peopleโs lives
It can affect sight too ๐๏ธ As a medical ophthalmologist, I work with rheumatology colleagues to treat #Uveitis/Ocular Inflammation and protect vision.
Proud to have contributed to ASTUTE alongside many in the UK #uveitis community. This randomised trial supports wider access to adalimumab. Good empirical evidence must guide our treatment decisions & access to care.

A great start to the inaugural IUSG Case of the Month with 450 participants!
Red eyes, hearing loss and facial palsy led to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), a rare vasculitis.
Thanks to everyone who participated.
International consensus puts multimodal imaging at the heart of tubercular choroiditis care: ultrawide-field colour photography and OCT are cornerstones, with ICGA and OCTA revealing choroidal involvement beyond what is clinically visible.โฌ๏ธ
Liverpool is on the TOFU map๐
Weโre recruiting our third patient in Treatment Exit Options for Non-Infectious #Uveitis, an international registry asking when and how treatment can safely be reduced or stopped once inflammation is controlled.
International collaboration matters!
The Multimodal Imaging in Uveitis (MUV) Taskforce has published Report 15: Evidence and Consensus-Based Imaging Guidelines in Cytomegalovirus Retinitis, now available in Ophthalmology Retina.
