<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyWhat exactly is autoimmune retinopathy?  <response>: <reason> Autoimmune retinopathy AIR can be broadly classified into two main categories: non-paraneoplastic AIR npAIR and paraneoplastic AIR. Paraneoplastic AIR is most frequently associated with small-cell lung cancer, followed by breast and gynecologic uterine, ovarian and cervical carcinoma. Other cancer associations include hematological, prostate, colon and lymphomas. Non-paraneoplastic AIR, which is the most prevalent form of AIR, is seen in the absence of neoplasms.
