However, typically the prognosis is guarded due to the entire eye being affected. The condition can lead to permanent blindness if early diagnosis and treatment is not provided Complications, such as glaucoma and cataract, can worsen the prognosis. [dovemed.com]

The long-term outcomes and prognosis of this condition are not well known. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Vision prognosis is often poor, even with early and appropriate treatment. Patients whose vision at presentation is count-fingers or worse should be considered for vitrectomy and use of intraocular corticosteroids. [merckmanuals.com]

This could be due to better control of systemic and infectious etiologies, leading to decreased accompanying ocular complications. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
