Observational analysis finds temperature extremes increase uveitis visits in males and younger adults, suggesting environmental factors matter.

Higher temperatures lead to increased uveitis outpatient visits, especially under low humidity conditions.
The relative risk for visits peaked at lower temperatures, notably −4°C, with RR of 1.351 for lagged effects.
Using a distributed lag non-linear model, the study analyzed over 8,000 outpatient records alongside environmental data.
Findings suggest that cold temperatures in polluted areas significantly elevate the risk for uveitis, indicating health vulnerabilities.

Tan et al. (2025) studied this question.
