RESUMO
Noninfectious uveitic macular edema (NIU-ME) is a major cause of visual impairment in patients with uveitis. Intravitreal route can control inflammation rapidly, reduce macular edema, and improve vision with relatively lower doses of the drug. Currently, several intravitreal injection drugs have been used for the treatment of NIU-ME. Cataract and elevated intraocular pressure are the major complications. Due to its efficacy and safety, intravitreal drugs have gradually become an effective alternative to systemic treatment, especially in patients with unilateral disease. However, more studies are needed on drug selection, timing of injection and combination therapy in clinical practice. There are various treatments for NIU-ME, and the ultimate treatment should be individualized based on the severity of the disease, the risk/benefit ratio of each therapy, and the patient's tolerance.
