Abstract
La uveítis es la causa más común de enfermedad inflamatoria ocular y la 3ª causa de ceguera, en edades medias de la vida, en países desarrollados (10% total de casos) (1). Su incidencia se ha estimado entre 17 y 52 por 100.000 habitantes y año, con una prevalencia que varía entre 38 y 714 casos por 100.000 habitantes (1–3). Se reporta ceguera legal, hasta para el 35% de los casos de uveítis (3–5). Las complicaciones más frecuentes de este cuadro, son la catarata (8,5%-38,1%) y las lesiones de mácula (4,1%-41%) (2,6). La catarata tiene su origen en las alteraciones metabólicas y estructurales, inducidas por el proceso inflamatorio, así como por el efecto iatrogénico de los corticoides (7,8). El tipo más frecuentemente asociado a la uveítis, es la catarata subcapsular posterior (1)...
Uveitis is the most common cause of inflammatory eye disease and the third leading cause of vision loss in working age, in developed countries (10% of total cases) (1). Its incidence has been estimated to be between 17 and 52 per 100,000 inhabitants per year, with a prevalence that varies between 38 and 714 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (1–3). Legal blindness is reported in up to 35% of uveitis cases (3–5). The most frequent complications of this condition are cataract (8.5%-38.1%) and macular lesions (4.1%-41%) (2,6). Cataract has its origin in metabolic and structural alterations, induced by the inflammatory process, as well as in the iatrogenic effect of corticosteroids (7,8). The most frequently associated with uveitis, is posterior subcapsular cataract (1)...
