title: Epidemiology and Clinical Features of Uveitis from Urban Populations in South India.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the epidemiology of uveitis in two urban centers in South India.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case records seen between January 2014 and December 2014 at two tertiary eye centers in South India were retrospectively reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 1123 patients in the study population had uveitis. Anterior uveitis was seen in 48.9%, posterior in 20.5%, intermediate in 17.3%, and panuveitis in 13.3%. Of these cases, 68.4% were acute uveitis. Pediatric uveitis constituted 6.9% patients. Tuberculosis was the commonest infectious etiology.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Idiopathic uveitis was highest in non-infectious and tuberculosis in infectious etiology. Toxoplasmosis was seen in the pediatric age group.
