Q

2 types of lens-associated uveitis with etiology and findings

A
  1. phacoantigenic uveitis: injury to lans capsule exposes lens material and leads to inflammation. IOP often elevated
  2. phacolytic uveitis: lens protein leaks through uninjured capsule, and macrophages swollen with lens protein clog TM and cause acutely increased IOP

Q

Treatment algorithm for pars planitis

A

Goal is to treat CME. Without CME, treatment not necessarily needed

subtenons steroids –> intravitreal steroids –> systemic steroids –> IMT (and consider laser photocoagulation of snowbank and/or PPV if recalcitrant to IMT)
