PURPOSE: Given their immunocompromised status, uveitis patients should be particularly careful during the COVID-19 pandemic. Treatment compliance and adherence are among the most important patient-related determinants of treatment success.To assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of uveitis patients from their own perspective. METHODS: A questionnaire was performed on uveitis patients at Cairo University Hospital in the period between June and August 2020. RESULTS: Overall, 150 responses were received. Almost 20% patients stopped their medications. A total of 61.7% patients reported no fears regarding getting infected with the novel coronavirus. In addition, 54% patients found medical services easily, 26% patients received them through telemedicine, and 34% patients reported worsening of their ocular condition. CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 has caused a decrease in uveitis patient compliance with follow-ups, leading to worsening of their ocular condition. Economic and psychological effects of COVID-19 pandemic on any chronic patient should be addressed to prevent further deterioration as the pandemic continues.
