Tattoo‐Associated Uveitis: An Emerging Eye Health Challenge
Forty cases of tattoo-associated uveitis were identified, indicating that this previously rare condition has become a regular entity in Australian uveitis clinics in a population where 25% of people have tattoos. Vision was commonly affected, and 63% required long-term immunosuppression, including with biological DMARDs in 42%, making this a public eye health issue of concern.
