Özet

In order to assess the role of vitamin E, an antioxidant, in the treatment of uveitis, a controlled experimental study was carried out on 20 New Zealand albino rabbits with bovine-albumin-induced uveitis. In all vitamin-E-treated animals, clinical and histopathological study of the retina and uvea revealed no significant changes in comparison with those in untreated rabbits.
