ABSTRACT
The incidence and prevalence of uveitis vary around the world, and so do its causative
agents and most affected age group. In general terms, these may be associated to a
large number of ocular complications which cause marked, at times irreversible vision
reduction, and may even lead to vision loss in one or both eyes. An association is
often found between uveitis and glaucoma. The incidence of glaucoma secondary to
uveitis ranges around 10%, with fluctuations related to its origin and presentation
age. A form of uveitis develops with more or less marked ocular hypertension during or after the inflammation process. This is a challenge for ophthalmologists, who
should treat two conditions simultaneously with practically opposite therapies. The
treatment for ocular inflammation is well established, whereas ocular hypertension
should be treated according to the characteristics and origin of each condition. Due to
its importance, we conducted a review of the topic, as well as of the elements to be
borne in mind to obtain better treatment results. Use was made of the platform
Infomed, specifically the Virtual Health Library.
