Title	Making the Diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) Disease: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives
Accept poster if oral is not possible ?	Yes

Purpose	The diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease has undergone significant evolution over the past two decades, paralleling advancements in diagnostic criteria and imaging modalities.
Methods	This presentation explores the historical context of VKH diagnostic guidelines, focusing on their development and the subsequent refinement with the introduction of the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) classification system. The interplay between these frameworks is highlighted to elucidate their influence on clinical decision-making. Additionally, modern imaging technologies, including enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT), fluorescein fundus angiography (FAG), and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), have revolutionized our ability to detect subclinical changes characteristic of VKH. These tools not only improve diagnostic accuracy but also aid in monitoring disease progression and treatment response.
Results	This presentation will also include illustrative clinical cases to demonstrate the application of these imaging modalities in real-world settings. Through these discussions, the audience will gain insights into the strengths and limitations of current diagnostic practices, as well as considerations for integrating advanced imaging tools with traditional clinical assessments.
Conclusion	This comprehensive review aims to enhance diagnostic precision and guide therapeutic strategies for patients with VKH disease.
