RESUMO
Uveitis is a common sight-threatening ocular disease that has multiple heterogeneous clinical entities, complicated pathogenesis, and a high complication rate. The visual impairment caused by uveitis, the side effects of long-term systemic therapy, and the economic burden due to the high cost of treatment have a significant impact on the patient's physical, psychological, and social functions, resulting in a decrease in the quality of life of uveitis sufferers. Accurate assessment of patients' quality of life is helpful to guild treatment, enhance compliance and improve patients' overall quality of life. This article reviews the current progress on the quality of life assessment scales and psychological assessment tools to evaluate overall quality of life in patients with uveitis, thereby to provide reference and theoretical basis for selecting and developing the quality of life assessment tools for uveitis patients.
