Retinal Vasculitis with Good Visual Acuity and Mild Intraocular Inflammation

Not all presentations of retinal vasculitis require immediate treatment. When inflammation is mild, visual acuity is well preserved, and retinal involvement is limited, a more conservative approach may be appropriate.

Clinical scenario

Mild intraocular inflammation with good visual acuity — 20/40 or better — and absence of extensive retinal involvement. This includes cases of minimal disease activity where intervention may not be required at all.

Treatment approach

Management in this setting may range from close observation to a steroid-based approach, depending on clinical assessment. The choice between options, and the criteria guiding it, are detailed in the full protocol.

The complete regimen — including all options, sequence, and clinical decision criteria — is available below.

Treatment goal

Suppression of intraocular inflammation, with clinical improvement expected within a defined window following intervention.

Therapy may not be required in cases with minimal disease activity and a 20/40 visual acuity or better.
In cases of mild inflammation, good visual acuity and absence of extensive retinal involvement, the choice may be monitoring or using topical steroids or sub-Tenon's steroid injections.
Clinical improvement is observed within 2-3 weeks after the procedure and effects can last up to 3 months.
