| Purpose | Sarcoidosis is an uncommon, but well recognized cause of uveitis in Australia. Making a definitive diagnosis of ocular sarcoidosis is often challenging and difficult. The ocular presentation often leads to a systemic diagnosis as it is the first presentation of the disease. Ocular sarcoidosis accounts for approximately 5% of patients attending the uveitis unit at Sydney Eye Hospital. |
| Methods | We reviewed the real world data of clinical features, treatment and visual outcomes of patients with sarcoid related uveitis at Sydney Eye Hospital from the Sydney Eye Hospital uveitis database of more than 2,000 patients seen between 2009-2018. |
| Results | There were 94 patients (156 eyes) with confirmed Sarcoidosis and ocular manifestations. The average age was 45 years (range 21-84 years). There were more females than males. Most presentations were bilateral and chronic. The most common presentations were intermediate uveitis (38%), anterior uveitis (28%), panuveitis (22%) & posterior uveitis (12%). The most common complications were increased IOP (37%), Cataract (31%) & CME (26%). The majority of patients maintained good vision between 6/6-6/12 – 74% (at presentation) and 80% (at final review). |
| Conclusion | Sarcoid uveitis is common. Patients with ocular sarcoidosis can present with a wide range of clinical manifestations. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for achieving the best visual and systemic outcomes. |
