Auxiliary Laboratory and Imaging in Non-Infectious Uveitis

Intraocular inflammations are still a diagnostic challenge for ophthalmologists. It is often difficult to make a precise etiological diagnosis in certain situations. Ancillary investigations are very useful in diagnosing the pathologies and monitoring inflammation in the anterior as well as posterior segment. The most commonly used ancillary investigations in noninfectious uveitis include laser flare meter for anterior segment inflammation, fundus fluorescein angiography for retinal diseases, indocyanine green angiography for choroidal pathologies, fundus autofluorescence for retinal pigment epithelium and optical coherence tomography as well as ultrasonography for posterior segment. Laboratory investigations in the diagnosis of noninfectious uveitis is also very important. This review aims to be an overview describing the role of commonly used investigations.
