Advances in the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in uveitis and uveoretinitis led to the introduction of various new therapeuticmodalities for these diseases, thus raising the need for a comprehensive and reproducible standard scoring system. This monograph is the end result of extensive studies and presents a universal grading system that reflects both intraocular inflammatory activity and visual acuity and can beused as a standard means of classification throughout the world.
