Management of Ocular Complications Associated with Ocular Sarcoidosis

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease. Since the clinical course of intraocular inflammation in ocular sarcoidosis usually shows a chronic course, we often experience secondary lesions consequent to primary granulomatous inflammation. Cataract, glaucoma, cystoid macular edema, and epi-retinal membrane are the representative ocular complications associated with ocular sarcoidosis. Although medical treatment is essential for the primary lesions, surgical procedures are sometimes required in the management of these secondary lesions.
