Mean preoperative IOP was 25.5 ± 7.7 mmHg with 3.5 ± 1.1 medications.

Complete success decreased from 28% at 6 months to 12.5% at 24 months, while qualified success increased from 72% to 87.5%.

Visual field mean deviation remained stable (mean change -0.79 dB; p = 0.21).

Surgical reintervention was required in 2 eyes (8%).

Etiologically, non-infectious uveitis predominated (44.9%, 95% CI: 39.4-50.5%), followed by idiopathic (34.3%, 95% CI: 29.9-39.0%) and infectious uveitis (23.0%, 95% CI: 20.6-25.5%).

All pooled estimates showed substantial heterogeneity (I 2 > 90%).

Treatment patterns and complication rates were inconsistently reported and are therefore summarized descriptively.

At a threshold of 0, the ISOLD score yielded overall sensitivity of 86.8%, specificity of 98.6%, PPV of 94.3%, and NPV of 96.6% across all 183 samples.

The IL-10/IL-6 ratio at a threshold of 0.6 in AH (n=150) demonstrated sensitivity 77.8%, specificity 93.9%, PPV 63.6% and NPV 96.9%; at a threshold of 1 in vitreous (n=27), sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 80%, 100%, 100%, and 63.6%, respectively.

The experts agreed that CFP remains the most essential baseline and follow-up imaging modality for documenting the pattern, extent, and borders of the lesion, as well as the response to treatment.

Ultra-widefield CFP was particularly valued for its ability to detect peripheral/satellite lesions and complications such as early retinal breaks.

Fundus fluorescein angiography may help in identifying arteriolar occlusion, CME, and optic nerve head leakage.

OCT angiography and ICGA have limited roles in diagnosing CMVR or assessing disease activity.
