Les uvéites sont des pathologies fréquentes et d'étiologie extrêmement variée (d'origine bactérienne, inflammatoire, ou liées à des traumatismes, associées à un cancer... et appelées pseudouvéites). Cette pathologie représente la troisième cause de cécité dans le monde (environ 10% des handicaps visuels sont dus à des uvéites). Le Rapport 2010 de la SFO dresse un panorama complet de l'uvéite par les meilleurs spécialistes européens.

"Après intervention de la cataracte par phacoémulsification, certains patients présentent une uvéite hypertensive à bas bruit ou extrêmement douloureuse, dorigine indéterminée, pouvant durer jusquà une année. Après avoir fait vérifier plusieurs fois notre matériel et revu les films vidéos des opérations, nous avons pu trouver lorigine de ces uvéites. La friction du boulon de serrage de la pièce à main sur la pointe de phaco est à lorigine de débris métalliques qui sont évacués dans loeil par lirrigation du manchon. Il est important de changer régulièrement de pointe de titane, dutiliser un tournevis en matériel synthétique, de le changer au moindre doute, et de ne pas serrer trop fort la pointe de phaco. Nous vous présentons le film vidéo qui nous a permis de trouver la solution."
