| Abstract |
Checkpoint inhibitors are now a common treatment modality for metastatic cancer. In this manuscript, we describe the clinical features and management of autoimmune non-infectious uveitis induced by this class of drugs. Seven patients undergoing checkpoint inhibitor treatment for metastatic cancer from uveitis practices at three tertiary referral centers. All seven patients developed various severities of ocular inflammatory disease while taking checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic disease. Checkpoint inhibitors may induce autoimmune uveitis. Ocular complaints should prompt an early evaluation by an ophthalmologist. |
