The aim of this narrative review is to synthesize existing evidence-based knowledge on juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIA-U). We highlight epidemiology, pathophysiology, causes and genetics, risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis and screening, laboratory biomarkers, treatment options, trials with recent advances, and research challenges pertaining to JIA-U. The prevalence of JIA-U varies with different JIA subtypes, most frequently associated with the oligoarticular subtype. The risk factors involved in the development of JIA-U include younger age, antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity, and the oligoarticular subtype of JIA, along with some specific major histocompatibility complex genes...
