International Uveitis Study Group

A non-profit organization formed by clinicians for advancing the science & standard of care in ocular inflammatory disease.

VRSI's statement advises against using an umbrella term such as “White dot syndromes” for posterior uveitic entities that may appear morphologically similar but have unique imaging characteristics.

The IUSG EMERGE program was founded to support early-stage clinician researchers by matching an experienced mentor who can guide them to develop and complete a research project leading to a peer reviewed publication.

@DrNimaGhadiri @StPaulsNews @LivUni @nhsUHLG_RI @nhsUHLG Welcome aboard, @DrNimaGhadiri ! Excited to have your expertise driving our digital engagement and communications strategy. Here's to strengthening the global conversation on ocular inflammation together. #IUSG

@EURETINA commends the International Uveitis Study Group and its Multimodal Imaging in Uveitis (MUV) Task Force for leading this work, and supports the move towards more anatomically and mechanistically meaningful nomenclature

Precise, patient-centred terminology matters. “White dot syndromes” has historically been used as an umbrella term for a heterogeneous group of inflammatory chorioretinal disorders associated with pale lesions on fundus examination.

However, the term is overly broad and fails to reflect the differing anatomical sites and mechanisms of disease. Multimodal imaging now allows these conditions to be characterised with far greater precision.

In this week's IUSG Sunday Musings, Dr. James T. Rosenbaum shares the clinical maxims he's used for over 40 years to help patients understand their uveitis and its treatment.

@DrNimaGhadiri ..A strength of the IUSG is that it unites ophthalmologists from many cultures and perspectives. I assume that junior providers will pick and choose from my suggestions, but my hope is that every reader can find at least one aphorism from this list to benefit their practice."

[International Uveitis Study Group @iusg_official]

AUS supports retiring the umbrella term and using specific terminology that is descriptive and standardized.

Foster Ocular Immunology Society (FOIS) supports the IUSG's effort to replace the term with disease-specific diagnoses to distinguish the entities.

Diverse posterior uveitic entities such as MEWDS & serpiginous choroiditis have been filed under the same "White Dot Syndromes" umbrella for decades, even though they are not alike clinically. Dr. Nguyen and
@IOIS_Uveitis join the list of societies backing the IUSG's initiative.

@AAOjournal @aniruddha9 An expert panel of international uveitis experts reviewed literature and gathered their collective experience and expertise to develop imaging statements to define active lesions in posterior segment involving ocular TB using multimodal imaging. #IUSG

[International Uveitis Study Group @iusg_official]

Three years ago the IUSG took on an ambitious project: to determine if the term "White Dot Syndromes" an umbrella term, was reflective of current diagnostic methods and reflected the management of patients with posterior uveitis.

A lesson from #ISU2026: progress in #uveitis does not happen in silos. Countries see different disease patterns, and no single specialty owns ocular inflammation. Constructive disagreement is where collaboration begins.

Some reflections:
