Associations Between Routine Vaccinations and the Risk of New-Onset Idiopathic Uveitis

Idiopathic uveitis comprises a heterogeneous group of intraocular inflammatory diseases that are often immune-mediated and can lead to significant visual morbidity.1 Although the precise triggers remain unclear in many cases, systemic immune activation following viral infections is recognized as a potential contributor to the onset or exacerbation of ocular inflammation through mechanisms such as molecular mimicry, bystander activation, and disruption of ocular immune privilege.1–3 Viral infections can also compromise the blood-retina barrier and alter local immune regulation, reducing tolerance to self-antigens and promoting a proinflammatory milieu.
