Background In Thailand, several novel laboratory investigations are recently available to help differentiate the uveitic etiologies. The update on uveitis epidemiological data in Thailand is necessary to better understand the disease burden and provide guidance on management. The current study aims to describe the prevalence and identify factors associated with poor visual outcomes of uveitis patients at a tertiary center in Thailand. Methods A 5-year-prospective study of uveitis cases presented at a tertiary referral center in the central region of Thailand is conducted.
