Ocular inflammation can cause vascular occlusion, ischemia, capillary leak, and alteration of cellular mediators. Due to the sequalae of uveitis, sight‐threatening ocular complications such as macula edema are seen. Early identification, treatment, and monitoring play a crucial role in visual recovery. Regardless of the anatomical location of uveitis, the most common complication of uveitis is macula edema. This is due to the release of inflammatory cytokines that disrupt the inner and outer blood‐retina barrier. These changes occur even in anterior uveitis, presumably due to diffusion of inflammatory mediators in the vitreous.
