Posts: 8 (06/26/08 09:29) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	In treating anterior uveitis, when inflammation keeps coming back after steroid drops are tapered, does it make sense to then try steroid pills? Or to jump over NSAIDs and go straight to immunomodulatory therapy? Is low-dose aspirin an NSAID that can have success against "mild" anterior uveitis?
