ABSTRACT
A case of TINU-syndrome with complications in the posterior segment is reported. A 15-year old boy presented, eight months after an acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis, a bilateral anterior uveitis, followed by an unilateral posterior uveitis with papillitis. The treatment with oral and topical corticosteroids was successful.

We interpreted the clinical data from 16 eyes with a 3M multifocal implant and compared them with data from 16 monofocal implants with the same follow-up period. The multifocal implant has several disadvantages: a lower initial visual acuity, a higher frequency of posterior synechiae, and slightly more difficult ophthalmoscopy than with conventional lenses. The great advantage of the multifocal implant is the good near visual acuity without additional correction.
