Uveitis intermedia

Leitlinien sind Orientierungshilfen im Sinne von „Handlungs- und Entscheidungskorridoren“, von denen in begründeten Fällen abgewichen werden kann oder sogar muss. Sie beschreiben, was Augenärzte für eine angemessene Patientenversorgung in der Praxis für geboten halten. Dies entspricht in vielen Fällen nicht dem Leistungsniveau der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung in Deutschland (siehe Präambel).
