Steroid-Sparing Immunosuppressive Therapy for Anterior Uveitis

Clinical Scenario

This protocol covers anterior uveitis cases where steroid-sparing treatment is indicated — principally in corticosteroid-resistant presentations or where ongoing corticosteroid use is not appropriate. Because of the systemic nature of the agents involved, management is undertaken in conjunction with an internist.

Treatment Approach

The approach involves the use of an immunosuppressive agent as steroid-sparing therapy, initiated with internist co-management.

Agent selection, monitoring, and the full treatment algorithm are detailed in the complete protocol.
