This review of medical records from a managed care network in Hawaii evaluated the association between statin use and uveitis diagnosis, comparing 108 uveitis cases with 2 randomly selected control groups, 1 from the general plan membership and 1 from the plan’s ophthalmology clinic. After adjustment for risk factors, the authors found that the odds of developing uveitis were about 50% less for statin users compared to patients not taking this class of medications.
