This prospective study examines the impact of uveitis on children’s quality of life, focusing on visual outcomes and overall well-being. Thirty-two patients, primarily males, aged 6 to 16, were assessed at Mohamed VI University Hospital in Marrakech. Anterior uveitis was the most common type, with various etiologies including juvenile idiopathic arthritis and idiopathic causes. Results highlighted a substantial negative impact on quality of life, evidenced by academic difficulties, psychological distress, and physical limitations. The findings emphasize the necessity of comprehensive patient care and personalized follow-up to address the multifaceted challenges posed by pediatric uveitis.
