Uveitis and its complications are thought to account for 10 to 15% of preventable blindness in Western countries. The diagnosis of chronic non-infectious uveitis (CNUI) can be made after exclusion of pseudo uveitis or infectious uveitis, in the case of any persistent uveitis or uveitis with frequent relapses occurring less than 3 months after cessation of treatment. Adalimumab (ADA), an anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody, has marketing authorization and is widely used in the treatment of UCNI as a relay to corticosteroids. The use of ADA has been optimized, in particular through Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM), based on the determination of serum ADA levels and anti-ADA antibodies. Recently, an article showed that a strategy of spacing ADA administrations in RA patients with concentrations \>8 μg/mL was not inferior to standard.
