IOIS WEBINAR 03

Controversies in Sarcoid Uveitis

OBJECTIVES
This webinar aims to examine key controversies in the diagnosis and management of sarcoid uveitis through case-based debates and international perspectives. It will compare approaches to isolated ocular sarcoidosis, including local versus systemic therapy, and discuss the timing and choice of conventional immunosuppression versus biologic agents. By integrating insights from multiple societies, the session seeks to promote evidence informed, practical, and individualized management strategies for sarcoid uveitis across diverse clinical settings.
