The article also explores recent studies on diagnostic criteria, imaging features, and treatment options for VKH disease. It includes brief reports on atypical cases of the disease and discusses the use of OCT angiography and adalimumab therapy in monitoring and treating VKH disease. The article highlights the need for prompt diagnosis and early intervention to prevent complications and visual impairment.
