title: [Eye and Behçet's disease].
abstract: Posterior uveitis is the most severe manifestation of ocular Behçet's disease, as it can lead to residual permanent damage. However, a better use of corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy in a multidisciplinary context has dramatically improved the overall visual prognosis and bilateral blindness is now rare.
