Optimising drug therapy for non-infectious uveitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Optic disc drusen (ODD) are acellular deposits in the prelaminar optic nerve head. The most accredited theory is that they are secondary to abnormalities in axonal metabolism and degeneration, but the pathogenesis is not clear to date. CLINICAL MANIFESTATION:Although ODD are often considered a benign condit...
