Popis: To investigate the characteristics, evolution, and visual outcome of non-infectious uveitis. Records of 201 patients with non-infectious uveitis (136 (67.7%) males and 84 (41.8%) juvenile-onset (≤ 16 years)) were retrospectively reviewed. Data were analyzed through Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney, chi-square (χ2) tests, and logistic regression. The median disease and follow-up durations were 36 (interquartile range (IQR) 24–70) and 24 (IQR 10–36) months, respectively. Fifty-eight (28.9%) patients had persistently idiopathic uveitis, and 143 (71.1%) were associated with rheumatic diseases, of whom uveitis heralded, coincided with, and succeeded the rheumatic manifestation(s) in 62/143 (43.4%), 37/143 (25.9%), and 44/143 (30.7%) patients, respectively. Established rheumatic diseases were Behcet’s disease (103/201 (51.2%)), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (13/201 (6.5%)), sarcoidosis (8/201 (4%)), seronegative spondyloarthropathy (7/201 (3.5%)), and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (7/201 (3.5%)), and other diagnoses were present in 5/201 (2.5%) patients. Patients with idiopathic uveitis were characterized by a juvenile-onset (p
