Birdshot chorioretinopathy, now commonly named birdshot uveitis or HLA-A29 uveitis,^[1] is a rare form of bilateral posterior uveitis affecting both eyes. It causes severe, progressive inflammation of both the choroid and retina.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Affected individuals are almost exclusively Caucasian and usually diagnosed in the fourth to sixth decade of their lives.^[5]
