Purpose To describe a paradigm of care for patients with ocular inflammatory diseases aimed at induction of durable remission. Methods Retrospective cohort study. The records of 399 patients with ocular inflammatory diseases treated with systemic immunomodulatory therapy (IMT) at the Massachusetts Eye Research and Surgery Institution were reviewed. Durable remission was defined as control of inflammation in the absence of systemic IMT for at least 1 year. Fifty patients met the inclusion…

Improvement or maintenance of visual acuity is noted during the course of follow-up of patients with treatment-resistant JIA-associated uveitis treated with effective IMT, however, only IMT given early in the disease course was noted to be associated with bilateralVisual acuity of 20/30 or better.
