Males 56%, females 44%; unilateral 30.4%; bilateral in 69.6%. A specific diagnosis achieved in 66.2%. Anterior uveitis was seen in 35.22%, intermediate uveitis in 30.11%, posterior uveitis in 25%, and panuveitis in 9.65%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of new uveitic cases (1.04% vs. 1.8%). A decline in male preponderance from 64% to 56% (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0187) was observed. In both studies, anterior uveitis was the most common but human leukocyte antigen-B27 positivity uveitis had increased (29.83% vs. 14.5%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). Intermediate uveitis was the second-most common type instead of posterior uveitis (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0006). In posterior uveitis cases, etiology was established in 88.6% versus 56.06% cases (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). The most common cause of posterior uveitis was tuberculosis (TB) (35.2%). Viral retinitis had increased to 6.81% from 0.76% (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). However, a declining trend in cases of toxoplasmosis was observed (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0545). The cause of panuveitis was comparable in both studies. The prevalence of TB has significantly increased in the present era (22.5% vs. 0.64%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001) and was the proven etiological cause of uveitis in overall 22.5% of which 4.8% cases were of anterior uveitis cases, 7.1% cases of intermediate uveitis cases, 8.8% cases of posterior uveitis cases, and 1.8% of panuveitis cases.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n A shifting paradigm of uveitis over the past two decades was observed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_851_17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,26]],"date-time":"2018-03-26T01:46:39Z","timestamp":1522028799000},"page":"524-527","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Changing uveitis patterns in South India - Comparison between two decades"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Jyotirmay","family":"Biswas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Uvea, Medical Research Foundations, Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ranju","family":"Kharel (Sitaula)","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Maharajgunj Medical College, B.
