    Ocular sarcoidosis, affecting one-fourth of patients, often presents asymptomatically. Early detection of eye lesions like conjunctival granulomata and chorio-retinal changes requires thorough examination for accurate sarcoidosis diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease.
    • Ocular involvement is a potential manifestation of sarcoidosis.
    • Ophthalmic signs can be crucial for diagnosing sarcoidosis and monitoring disease activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review ophthalmic changes in Italian patients with sarcoidosis.
    • To compare findings with existing literature.
    • To highlight the prevalence and characteristics of ocular sarcoidosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 163 Italian patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis.
    • Analysis of ophthalmic manifestations.
    • Comparison of collected data with published literature.

  • Mention of diagnostic techniques including 67 Gallium scans, fluorangiography, and biopsies.

    • Main Results:

    • Ocular involvement was observed in a significant portion of sarcoidosis patients.
    • Common ocular manifestations included conjunctival granulomata, chorio-retinal lesions, and lacrimal gland involvement.
    • Two-thirds of detected ocular lesions were asymptomatic, underscoring the need for specialized examination.

    Conclusions:

    • Ocular sarcoidosis is more prevalent than commonly believed, even in Caucasian populations.
    • Asymptomatic ocular findings are frequent, necessitating meticulous ophthalmological evaluation.
    • Comprehensive eye examinations, potentially aided by imaging and biopsies, are vital for detecting ocular sarcoidosis.
