Changes in anterior chamber cell grade (a) and prednisolone dose (b) in Case 1. Anterior chamber cell grading in the right eye was 3+ (based on the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature Working Group classification) at presentation. After prednisolone 15 mg/day was initiated, ocular inflammation and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) gradually improved; however, relapse occurred in both eyes during tapering of prednisolone. Adalimumab was administered to avoid the side effects of systemic corticosteroid. BCVA improved to 1.5 in both eyes and the anterior chamber cell grade improved to less than 0.5+ within 2 weeks. Both local and systemic corticosteroid were discontinued, and complete control of inflammation was achieved with adalimumab
