Uveitis
Brief summary
This is a cross sectional study of a novel non-invasive optical flare photometer (OFAM). Patients meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive a standard eye examination including a slit lamp examination to collect ocular flare data. In addition to the standard eye examination, subjects will receive flare measurements using the OFAM device.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Establish OFAM algorithms for quantitation of ocular flare | 3 months | OFAM algorithms for quantitation of ocular flare will be established by comparing the output of the OFAM device to the flare measurements obtained during the standard slit lamp examination. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Determine the impact that various potential confounders such as age and sex have on OFAM Measurements | 3 months | OFAM data for various sub-groups (age and sex) will be compared in order to evaluate the degree to which each sub-group acts as a confounder for OFAM measurements. |
