📆 It's almost time for our February support group!
"Your Uveitis Toolkit: Systems That Work"
Presented By: Katherine Gastler, IT Specialist & Uveitis Patient
Date: February 10, 2026
Time: 7 PM EST

Managing uveitis can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone—or reinvent the wheel. I’ll walk through the systems I’ve built over years of trial and error, including tips for preparing for appointments, tracking flares, and specialty medication reminders. Come ready to pick up new ideas you can adapt for your own care.

We’re grateful to start 2026 by learning and sharing alongside the uveitis community. This past weekend, members of the OIUF research team attended the American Uveitis Society Winter Symposium. Our research fellow, Dr. Andrew Briere, presented a case of placoid chorioretinitis, and Dr. Lingling Huang presented work exploring how AI may help predict prognosis in Birdshot Chorioretinopathy, an ongoing project in partnership with OIUF and MERSI.

Humira became the first FDA-approved non-steroid option for non-infectious uveitis in 2016, and in 2026, it remains the only one.

That’s why OIUF partners with the experts working toward new FDA-approved therapies, while also conducting research on off-label treatments and providing patient support and education so no one has to navigate access and insurance barriers alone.

OIUF in #2016! ✨ 10 years ago, we were busy making our mark in the field of Ocular Immunology!

From attending ARVO to training fellows at our clinical site in Massachusetts to our annual Walk for Vision to publishing a textbook on the treatment of Uveitic Glaucoma, we are grateful for the opportunity to have made an impact in this field!

✨ Happy New Year from all of us at OIUF! ✨

As we step into a new year, we’re filled with gratitude for our patients, families, donors, volunteers, and providers who make our mission possible. Thank you for standing with us as we continue advancing research, education, and support for those affected by ocular inflammatory disease. Here’s to hope, progress, and clearer vision in the year ahead!

“When our daughter Erin was diagnosed with uveitis, her eyesight was at serious risk—and as parents, the fear was overwhelming. The thought of her losing her vision was heartbreaking.

Through the expertise, compassion, and dedication of Dr. Foster and his team at OIUF, Erin received the care she desperately needed. They didn’t just treat her condition—they gave us hope at a moment when we needed it most.

Today, Erin can see the world with clarity and joy, something we will never take for granted.

Because of this experience, our family is proud to support the Ocular Immunology & Uveitis Foundation and its mission to advance research and care for ocular inflammatory disease. We believe wholeheartedly in this work.

Together, we can make a difference and help those affected by these conditions see a brighter future. Every donation matters—no matter the size. Let’s join forces to support vision research and ensure that everyone can experience the gift of sight.”
