Eligible children young people (<18 years) were those newly diagnosed with uveitis between 1 March 2020 28 February 2023. Cases identified recruited passive surveillance across a multicentre network. Descriptive analysis of demographic, socioeconomic clinical at diagnosis is reported alongside...
Background Adalimumab has demonstrated efficacy in non-infectious uveitis. With the introduction of biosimilar agents such as Amgevita, we aimed to quantify and tolerability compared Humira a multi-centre UK cohortMethods Patients identified from tertiary uveitis clinics 3 centres, after institution-mandated switching was implemented.Results Data collected for 102 patients, aged 2–75 years, with 185 active eyes.

Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is a minimally invasive ab interno procedure, performed with guidance of an illuminating microcatheter device (iTrack). The pathophysiology raised intraocular pressure (IOP) in uveitic glaucoma commonly due to increased resistance at the trabecular meshwork-Schlemm canal. By removing this resistance, GATT can potentially control IOP. In addition, approach avoids violating conjunctiva and reduces risk complications including infection,...
