- The reduction of the mean number of relapses per patient between the year before treatment and the study period. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The primary statistical hypothesis to be assessed in this study is whether there is a difference in cell damage and inflammation reduction between the treatment group and placebo group. The cell damage and inflammation reduction will be measured by Laser Flare Meter.
- The improvement of side effects due to HLA-B27-associated uveitis [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The improvement of side effects due to HLA-B27-associated uveitis, such as intraocular pressure between NORFLO® ORO treatment group and control group.
