This study is aimed at creation and validation of a vitreous haze scoring system using ultrasonography B-scan of the eye. Images will be obtained from patients with uveitis and quantification of inflammation will be done to create the scoring scale.
Patients with uveitis may present with Vitreous Haze (VH) resulting in obscuration of fundus details. VH is composed of cells and protein exudation and results in decrease visual acuity.The degree of VH is an important indicator of disease activity, severity and response to therapy in patients with uveitis. Color fundus images are commonly used to objectively document VH.

NONE
The patient's eye will be anesthetized. The ultrasound probe will then be used to obtain images by keeping the probe in light contact with the eye.
Inter-observer correlation for vitreous haze grading
Inter-observer correlation for vitreous haze (VH) grading will be assessed using number of eyes as the unit of measure as well as standardized grading scheme for VH
