Combined Fluocinolone Acetonide Intraocular Delivery System Insertion, Phacoemulsification, and Intraocular Lens Implantation for Severe Uveitis

A fluocinolone acetonide implant insertion can be combined safely with phacoemulsification plus IOL implantation during the same surgical session in eyes with uveitis. VA generally was improved, uveitis recurrences decreased, and the need for immunosuppression decreased. The most common side effect was increased IOP.
