Purpose

To investigate the clinical features of vemurafenib-induced uveitis and to provide clinical evidence for diagnosis and treatment.

Methods

We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and collected clinical reports on vemurafenib-induced uveitis by searching Chinese and English databases up to January 31, 2026.

n = 33 patients
87.9%
Results
87.9%
checked which eye(s) were affected - most patients had both eyes involved, not just one
n = 33 patients
More results

The median occurrence time of uveitis was 6 months (range 0.75, 48), with ocular redness (37.39%) and blurry vision (34.5%) as the main symptoms.

Optical coherence tomography examination can show normal (25.9%) and macular edema (51.9%).

More results

After discontinuing vemurafenib and receiving local, topical and/or systemic steroids, the patient's symptoms gradually improved.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

Patients taking vemurafenib are recommended to undergo ophthalmic monitoring. During treatment, clinicians should be alert to the potential for uveitis, particularly if patients develop ocular redness and visual impairment.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

While the optimal treatment regimen for vemurafenib-induced uveitis is not established, topical, local, and/or systemic steroids continue to be the primary treatment approach.
