Ocular Manifestations of Sarcoidosis: An Ophthalmologist's View

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease, which may in­ volve any part of the eye and its adnexal tissues. Although the first manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis is often ophthalmic involve­ ment, non­ophthalmologists are not familiar with its ocular man­ ifestations, especially when described in ophthalmologic terms. In this article, the author intends to describe the ocular manifestations of sarcoidosis in the terms of a non­ophthalmologist.
