Uveitis treatment is asynonymous with steroid bombardment. Steroids being a double edged sword can back fire if injudiciously used in viral retinitis, tubercular choroiditis, toxoplasma retinitis. Avoiding them altogether can cause so many perils and are the lynch pinn in tackling paradoxical reactions. The appropriate titration of inflammation with specific anti infectives and steroids is the mantra of treatment success. The unique selling point of any uveitis specialist is extending the armemantaria of uveitis treatment from beyond steroids to immunosuppressives with its choices. Where steroids are ineffective in uveitis is an eye-opener to a budding ophthalmologist. Limitations of steroid use with comorbidities without undertitration is a tight rope walk. Dynamic assessment of response to steroid treatment is the fulcrum for the astute clinician to clinch several subtle diagnosis. Application of these practical knowledge will benefit the quality care and avoid costly mistakes.
