In the elaboration of these recommendations participated physicians, specialists of all multidisciplinary clinics for uveitis of the country.

Conclusions:

In Costa Rica, the majority of alternatives available for the treatment of idiopathic uveitis in the public health system are available. It was possible to create therapeutic algorithms for the different diseases.
