Overview

Other diagnostic studies associated with uveitis include slit lamp test, dilated fundus exam, and ocular tonometry. The slit lamp test and a dilated fundus exam are considered gold standard modalities in diagnosing uveitis with a sensitivity of XX% and XX% respectively, and a specificity of XX% and XX% respectively.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic studies associated with uveitis include slit lamp test, dilated fundus exam, and ocular tonometry. The slit lamp test and a dilated fundus exam are considered gold standard modalities in diagnosing uveitis with a sensitivity of XX% and XX% respectively, and a specificity of XX% and XX% respectively. Findings on these diagnostic studies include:

Slit Lamp Test

A slit lamp examination is the gold standard for confirming uveitis. The following findings may be found on slit lamp examination:

  • inflammatory cells or flare in the anterior chamber
  • Keratic precipitates in the anterior chamber
  • Mutton fat precipitates in the

Dilated Fundus Exam

Ocular Tonometry

On ocular tonometry, findings associated with uveitis may include:
