dc.description.abstractPurpose of review: The purpose of this review is to determine the prevalence of uveitis in the diabetic population, the clinical features of the uveitis and diabetes when coexisting and pathophysiology of a possible correlation. We also aim to review the cases of diabetes and uveitis in the literature. Recent findings: The basis of an association between uveitis and diabetes mellitus (DM) is the common pathophysiology of inflammation. There are several reports on a DM-related uveitis, defined as idiopathic anterior uveitis in the presence of poorly controlled DM, but causation has not been established. Summary: There are conflicting results in the literature regarding an association between uveitis and DM. More studies are needed to determine if an association truly exists. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
