Morbidity associated with systemic disease factors are viral diseases, diabetes, central nervous system diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid, systemic lupus erythematosus, tuberculosis, Behcet’s syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis and skin diseases. The cause of uveitis can be summarized as infection and stimulation (including exogenous infection, secondary infection, endogenous infection), antigen - antibody response and non-infectious diseases in three aspects. In recent years, autoimmune uveitis and its related theory research has become the field of ophthalmic immunology the most active issue.
