Description
Uveitis has been recognized as the most common extra-articular manifestation and potentially sight-threatening complication of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The most common form of JIA-associated uveitis (JIA-U) is chronic anterior uveitis, which is initially asymptomatic but may lead to visual disability. JIA-U can extend into adulthood and have significant ocular morbidity as well. In this episode of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2021 series, Mara Becker, MD, discusses the management of JIA-associated uveitis in adults, including collaboration with ophthalmologists, transition from pediatric rheumatology care, screening frequency, and treatment options.
