The cause of inflammation might be an infectious agent or trauma, but in some cases, the underlying mechanism appears to be autoimmune.&#13;
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the etiological pattern, treatment, and outcome and complications of anterior uveitis.&#13;
Methods: A prospective clinical study was done in the Department of Ophthalmology. All patients aged between 21-70 yrs with clinical signs and symptoms of anterior uveitis were included. All the patients underwent complete clinical evaluation and investigation were performed to determine etiology. Patients were put on specific and non-specific treatment and were followed up for 6 months. Complications were noted.&#13;
Results: Patients n=44(88%) of the total n=50(100%) patients were having acute anterior uveitis and n=6(12%) were having a chronic type of anterior uveitis shown in table 3. In the present study, most of the cases n=45(90%) were suffering from non-granulomatous infection and n=5(10%) were having granulomatous inflammation. Cataract was the common compilation of anterior uveitis out of the n=7 cases in this study n=6 cases reached the maximum post-operative vision of 6/12 and one was able to reach n=6/9 with refraction and they were prescribed glasses.&#13;
Conclusion: The primary etiology of anterior uveitis remained obscure in several cases. Every case should be subjected to complete clinical examination and investigations to determine the final diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment will ensure a good clinical outcome. However, ocular morbidity remains a problem in chronic and recurrent cases.&#13;
