The use of dexamethasone 0.7 mg in punctate inner choroidopathy yielded encouraging results and long periods of stability. When choroidal neovascular membrane complicates the primary disease, the prognosis is unfavourable, especially if the macula integrity has already been considerably affected. On the contrary, aggressive early therapy and continued monthly monitoring can prevent severe fibrosis, as showed in previous reports. Further larger-scale studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal dexamethasone 0.7 mg and bevacizumab as an alternative treatment in non-infectious uveitis.
