Abstract

Uveitis tends to afflict younger age groups than other eye disorders like cataract and glaucoma, which typically affect the elderly. The frequency and prevalence of infectious ocular inflammation may vary greatly depending on the etiological agent and geographical location. This study found that the most frequent causes of infectious uveitis, which can account for up to 20% of all cases of uveitis in the developed world, are toxoplasmosis and herpetic infection. We found out that uveitis was more prevalent in the female population and that too in the younger age group having anterior uveitis more common.
