Among the presenting complaints, 332 patients (97.9%) reported diminished vision, and 52 (15.3%) reported floaters. Misdiagnosis occurred in 25% patients. Clinical findings included a loss of fine iris pattern (100%), stellate keratic precipitates (69.3%), cataract (84.3%), vitreous membranes (44.2%), heterochromia (6.4%), iris nodules (9.2%), and iris atrophy (21.7%). Post-cataract surgery complications were rare, with comparable outcomes between preoperative steroid and nonsteroid groups. Visual acuity improved from 0.77 at the time of presentation to 0.11 logMAR at the time of final follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fuchs uveitis remains frequently underdiagnosed and overtreated in the Indian setting, often due to diagnostic challenges such as bilaterality, reliance on iris heterochromia in dark irides, and vitreous involvement.
