We report a 6-year-old boy with anterior uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who underwent cataract extraction in his right eye. One month before surgery he received an intravitreal sustained-release dexamethasone implant. During 10 months' follow-up, his uveitis remained quiet. To our knowledge this is the first report using an intravitreal sustained-release dexamethasone implant as a perioperative anti-inflammatory medication.
