About this trial

This study seeks to describe, for children undergoing uveitis surveillance following a new diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, the feasibility metrics of undertaking a randomised comparative study of routine slit lamp examination (SLE) versus imaging based (anterior segment optical coherence tomography, OCT) surveillance in order to inform the development of a larger multi-centre trial.
