Abstract
Mechanisms of drug-induced uveitis are poorly understood, and they may include direct medication toxicity, breakdown of blood-aqueous and blood-retina barriers, and immune-mediated vasculitis. A thorough review of medications should be conducted in evaluation of every uveitis patient. Using the 10 criteria proposed by Naranjo et al., the causative relationship between a medication and an adverse reaction can be quantitatively assessed.
