Insturctions
The first step in developing a differential diagnosis for patients with inflammatory eye disease is to
classify the uveitis in as detailed a fashion as possible.
This can be achieved by systematically asking the eight questions:
Is the disease acute or chronic?
Is the inflammation granulomatous or nongranulomatous?
Is the disease unilateral or bilateral?
Where is the inflammation located in the eye?
What are the demographics of the patient?
What associated symptoms does the patient have?
What associated signs are present on physical examination?
What is the time course of the disease and response to previous therapy?
