We read with interest the article 'Uveitis and the menstrual cycle' by Sanghvi et al. In their study, the authors reported the relation between menstrual cycle and patient-reported onset of acute anterior uveitis (AAU), in 76 regularly menstruating women. They concluded that the onset of AAU was partially dependent on the levels of either oestrogen or progesterone, or both. They summarized that they have demonstrated a significant increase in the incidence of AAU arising late in the menstrual period. While we applaud the authors' efforts on this important issue, we felt that the authors have to clarify a few points before arriving at their conclusion.
