This was a retrospective observational study conducted at the uveitis and ocular inflammatory diseases clinic of a tertiary eye care hospital in South India between 2016 and 2023.
Records of 76 patients on biologics were retrieved from our databases. The mean age was 34.84 ± 17.383 years. In 75% of patients, the duration of follow-up was 52.75 months.
