Abstract
Abstract: Non-infectious uveitis represents a heterogenous group of immune-mediated ocular diseases, which can be associated with underlying systemic disease. While the initial choice of treatment of non-infectious uveitis depends on a number of factors such as anatomical location and degree of inflammation, topical therapies often remain the initial choice of non-invasive therapy. In this narrative review, we aim to describe the literature on non-infectious uveitis, with specific focus on the current perspective on topical anti-inflammatory therapy. Keywords: non-infectious uveitis, topical anti-inflammatory therapy, topical corticosteroids, topical non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, topical cycloplegics
