Age a major risk factor for presence of CME in uveitis

Age, independent of the duration of uveitis, is a major risk factor for the presence of cystoid macular oedema (CME) in uveitis, according to a report published in the February issue of Eye.

The researchers therefore concluded that age is a major risk factor for the presence of CME in uveitis.
