Advances in the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms
involved in uveitis and uveoretinitis led to the
introduction of various new therapeuticmodalities for these
diseases, thus raising the need for a comprehensive and
reproducible standard scoring system. This monograph is the
end result of extensive studies and presents a universal
grading system that reflects both intraocular inflammatory
activity and visual acuity and can beused as a standard
means of classification throughout the world.
