LASV RNA was detected by PCR in the eye, and LASV antigen was detected by IHC within the anterior
uvea of animals that died of infection, particularly in the endothelium and perivascular stromal cells, and occasionally within epithelium.
Interestingly, the respondents belonging to cornea and refractive surgery, retinal vitreous/ diabetic retinopathy,
uvea, orbit oculoplastics and low vision specialisations preferred maximum online search to find journal articles.

Zone III injuries include damage to the retina, vitreous, posterior
uvea (e.g., ciliary body, choroid), and optic nerve.
Part 3 covers causes and treatment of disorders of the cornea, sclera, iris, and pupil, while Part 4 covers disorders of the macula, optic nerve, retina, vitreous, and
uvea. Later sections cover eye injuries, disorders of structures surrounding the eye, and congenital and inherited disorders affecting the eye.
Ocular melanoma, also known as uveal or choroidal melanoma, develops in the
uvea, or uveal tract, of the eye, and is a rare and aggressive eye cancer.
We hypothesized that levels of neurotrophic factors increase during TR activity in parallel with the inflammation of
uvea, normalizing after treatment.
Cutaneous melanoma is a very aggressive disease, arising from the proliferation of melanocytes, a type of dendritic cell found in the epidermis,
uvea, meninges, intestinal tract, upper respiratory tract, and along regional lymph nodes [1-3].
zone I (superficial injuries of bulbar conjunctiva, sclera and cornea), zone II (corneoscleral limbus to a point 5mm posterior into the sclera including violation of lens and anterior segment) and zone III (posterior to anterior 5mm of sclera including violation of the retina, vitreous, rear
uvea and optic nerve).8
Non-infectious uveitis is a group of diseases characterized by inflammation of the
uvea, the middle layer of the eye.(1) It can lead to reduced vision or vision loss and is the third-leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide.(1-5) However, non-infectious uveitis can be complicated to diagnose and treat(6,7) and there are no universally accepted guidelines for the treatment of the condition.(8,9) At this time, corticosteroids are the current mainstay of treatment in uveitis patients excluded infectious condition.(10) However, they may not be effective in all patients, and can have serious ocular long-term side effects including glaucoma and cataracts.(11,12) Some patients have underlying diseases that preclude the use of corticosteroids.
