Overview

Uveitis may be classified into 4 subtypes, depending on which part of the uvea is primarily affected: anterior, intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis.


Classification

Uveitis may be classified into the following forms, depending on which part of the uvea is primarily affected by the inflammation:

  • Anterior uveitis involves inflammation in the front part of the eye. It is the most common form of uveitis, making up 40-70% of all uveitis cases[1]. It is often called iritis because it is usually only effects the iris.
  • Panuveitis is the inflammation of the entire uvea, and it effects all layers of the uvea.
