Introduction: In patients with a history of uveitis, a 60–90-day period of quiescence prior to cataract surgery has been historically recommended. These recommendations were based mostly on expert opinion. The purpose of this study was to further examine and understand uveitis quiescence timing and outcomes of eyes that do have a recurrence of uveitis after cataract surgery. Methods: Patients with a history of uveitis undergoing cataract surgery at the University of Colorado Sue-Anschutz Rodgers Eye Center from 2014 to 2018 were studied. Main outcome measures were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 6 months, intraocular pressure (IOP) at 6 months, and recurrences of uveitis within 90 days of surgery. Timing of cataract surgery in relation to preoperative uveitis quiescence was recorded. Results: A total of 149 eyes from 114 patients were included. Uveitis recurrence was seen in 31 (20.8%) of the 149 eyes with a history of uveitis undergoing phacoemulsification. The mean logMAR change or improvement in vision was 0.429 in eyes with a recurrence of uveitis, and 0.318 in eyes without, a difference that was not statistically significant (p = 0.292). Eyes with a recurrence of uveitis displayed higher IOP at 6 months compared to eyes without a recurrence, at 16.1 versus 13.0 mmHg respectively (p = 0.0009). Eyes that were quiescent for 30 days or less were more likely to have a uveitis recurrence (OR 6.11, 95% CI 2.48–15.06, p = 0.0001). Conclusions: Our study shows that a quiescence period of at least 30 days is beneficial in reducing uveitis recurrence after cataract surgery. It is unclear what the long-term consequences of a uveitis recurrence after cataract surgery are, though it appears there may be elevated IOP in patients with recurrences, and thus patients with a history of uveitis should be counseled carefully about this potential risk.
