1. The document describes five idiopathic specific uveitis syndromes: Fuchs uveitis syndrome, intermediate uveitis, juvenile chronic iridocyclitis, acute anterior uveitis in young adults, and sympathetic ophthalmitis.
2. Fuchs uveitis syndrome typically presents as unilateral chronic anterior uveitis that is resistant to therapy and can lead to complications like cataracts, angle new vessels, and glaucoma over time.
3. Intermediate uveitis usually affects children and young adults bilaterally with insidious floaters, vitritis, and cystoid macular edema, which can be treated with posterior sub-Tenon steroids.

affected eye is usually hypochromic Complications of Fuchs uveitis syndrome
Cataract Angle new vessels Glaucoma
Very common and May bleed during Uncommon but control
frequently surgery may be difficult presenting feature Intermediate uveitis • Typically affects children and young adults • Insidious and chronic • Frequently bilateral but asymmetrical • Usually presents with floaters
Juvenile chronic iridocyclitis • Majority are girls • Initially no systemic disease • Minority subsequently develop arthritis Progression of complications
Posterior synechiae Band keratopathy Cataract
Acute anterior uveitis in young adults • Majority are men • 45% are positive for HLA-B27 • Initially no systemic disease • Minority subsequently develop ankylosing spondylitis
Fibrinous exudate Residual pigment on lens
