ABSTRACT
To evaluate the role of anxiety in idiopathic acute anterior uveitis. In this case-control study, three groups including 30 patients with uveitis, 30 patients with conjunctivitis, and 30 healthy control were enrolled for estimating the anxiety level by employing Zung anxiety assessment and a structured clinical interview. T test and Chi square test were used for statistical analysis. Mean anxiety level was 37.5, 33.5, and 33.5 in the anterior uveitis, conjunctivitis, and control groups, respectively. [P<0.001] Severe anxiety was present in 23%, 7% and 17% of the uveitis, conjunctivitis and the control groups, respectively. The individuals were male in 60%, 53%, and 57% and were married in 77%, 70%, and 83% of the uveitis, conjunctivitis and control groups, respectively. Mean age uveitis, conjunctivitis, and control groups was 42.6 yr, 33.6 yr, and 31.1 yr, respectively. [P<0.01, F=3.09] The present findings have verified that anxiety may be effective in idiopathic acute anterior uveitis
