Abstract
This paper listed ocular findings characteristic for sarcoidosis, which are listed in the Guideline for Diagnosis of Ocular Lesions-a part of the new Diagnostic Standard and Guideline for Sarcoidosis-2006, All the items of the new Guideline for Diagnosis of Ocular Lesions have a high specificity of more than 80% and the Guideline as a whole also has high sensitivity and specificity. With the revised diagnostic procedure, an approach will be provided as to how we make the diagnosis when we suspect sarcoidosis from ocular findings. The addition of BHL (bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy) as one of the systemic examination items, that are required for making diagnosis, has facilitated clinical-based diagnosis of sarcoidosis, especially in cases of uveitis patients with BHL. It is expected that an increased rate of diagnosis for sarcoidosis will result.
