Purpose: To report the pattern of childhood-onset uveitis observed in Egypt from May 2010 to May 2017 Methods: Retrospective evaluation of the data of all patients with uveitis diagnosed before the age of 16 and visiting uveitis referral clinics in 5 Egyptian Governorates (Alexandria, Cairo, Al Bohayra (Damanhour), Al Gharbeya (Tanta), and Sohag) between May 2010 and May 2017. Results: A total of 413 uveitis patients were enrolled. These included 219 male and 194 female patients. Uveitis was bilateral in 68.3% of the patients. The most frequently observed ocular complications were cataract, glaucoma, and cystoid macular edema. The percentage of children with a visual acuity >= 1.00 logMAR in at least one eye by the final visit was 21.8%. Conclusion: Pediatric uveitis is a vision-threatening condition which caused more than one-fifth of the children in this study to lose vision in one or both eyes
