One hundred and thirty patients with uveitis in north-western zone of our country were analyzed based on anatomical classification and their causes. It was found that anterior uveitis was the commonest type in uveitis,accounting for 86.15% of total patients. Intermediate uveitis, pan-uveitis and posterior uveitis accounted repectively for 6.92%, 3.85%and3.08% of the total patients. Rheumatic arthritis was the most frequently accompanied systemic disease in patients with uveitis,showing a possibly causative link between them in their pathogenesis.
