The papers listed here (and in the birdshot research projects section) give you more information about possible treatments for birdshot.
They may be useful
- To persuade you, if you are not already under the care of a uveitis specialist, to get yourself to a uveitis specialist who treats others with birdshot and who will oversee your treatment.
- To help you see the benefits of taking what seem to be very scary medicines in order to preserve your sight.
- To give you some idea of the treatments which work, treatments in the pipeline and the exciting world of ophthalmology research.
BUS is extremely grateful for the valuable assistance received from Dr Graham Wallace and Dr Robert Barry of Birmingham University, UK, in selecting articles for this section on relevant birdshot research.
We have divided up the research papers into several topic areas which are accessed via the drop-down menus below. Where we can link into the whole paper, we have done so, but if that is not possible, the link is to the abstract. If you are interested in reading the full paper and it is not available, please get in touch and BUS will try to assist.
BUS will continue to add links to research papers, so we would be grateful for suggestions for other papers that should be included here.
