Prognosis

The prognosis depends upon the etiology, location, and severity of uveitis.[3][41]

Panuveitis, intermediate uveitis, and posterior uveitis resulting in retinal, choroidal, or optic nerve damage tend to result in a worse outcome than anterior uveitis. In one large study of uveitis patients, 35% had visual loss of >20/60 in at least one eye, whereas 22% became unilaterally or bilaterally blind.[103]
