In a brief historical review of views on inflammatory affections of the uveal tissue the authors focused attention also on distinguished personalities in Czech ophthalmology who worked at the Czech Ophthalmological Clinic and participated in the development of uveology. Based on their own observations, they give an account on of their experience with the diagnosis of endogenous uveitis. Consistent with the world literature, they were able to reveal in a group of 174 patients with endogenous uveitis that the condition was associated with a systemic disease in 30%, in 9% they found an infectious aetiology and the remaining 61% were described as idiopathic endogenous uveitis. From the group of idiopathic uveitis they separated clinical entities diagnosed in 29%.
