On the basis of bibliographical findings and own clinical observations the author has formulated the thesis that genetically stipulated weakness of accommodation can be the cause of uveitis development with uncertain etiology. The process stabilizes at the rehabilitation of the eye accommodative capacity (as the result of uvea inflammation). Otherwise there occurs the development of a vicious circle and the uveitis recurrence with the origin of complications (cataract, secondary glaucoma, pathology of retina and the optic nerve, eye subatrophy), which lead to the loss of sight. Based on specified conception, new approaches to the treatment of idiopathic uveitis are offered.
