Lower levels of vitamin D associated with increased risk of noninfectious uveitis
SEATTLE — Patients with noninfectious uveitis had lower levels of vitamin D compared to patients without noninfectious uveitis, according to a poster presented here. “Given that noninfectious uveitis is postulated to be caused by immune dysfunction, the purpose of this study was to determine if there was an association between vitamin D levels and the development of noninfectious uveitis,” Lindsay Grotting, MD, said at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.
