Bonn [Germany], August 29 (ANI): Uveitis, a rare inflammatory eye illness, is responsible for five to ten percent of blindness worldwide. In particular, posterior uveitis is frequently associated with significant disease progression and the requirement for immunosuppressive medication. In posterior uveitis, inflammation develops in the retina as well as the underlying choroid, which gives nutrients to the retina. Color-coded fundus autofluorescence was investigated as a potential innovative diagnostic tool by researchers at the University of Bonn's Department of Ophthalmology. The fluorescence of the retina can be used to determine the type of uveitis. This is a necessary requirement for appropriate disease diagnosis and therapy.
