Uveitis - Management
How do I manage a person with suspected uveitis in primary care?
- Refer people with suspected uveitis (new presentations and recurrent) for assessment within 24 hours by an ophthalmologist.
- This includes people who have had uveitis before and feel the symptoms coming on before the signs are present.
- Do not initiate treatment for recurrent uveitis in primary care, unless asked to do so by an ophthalmologist.
