Treatment of Anterior Uveitis in Ocular Sarcoidosis

Ocular sarcoidosis can involve the anterior segment of the eye, presenting as anterior uveitis. This specific manifestation requires targeted management to control intraocular inflammation, relieve pain, and prevent structural complications.

Clinical Scenario

Anterior uveitis is a recognised ocular manifestation of sarcoidosis. Management focuses on suppressing intraocular inflammation and relieving discomfort while avoiding intraocular scarring. Local therapies are typically the first consideration in this setting.

Treatment Approach (Partial)

Management of this presentation involves corticosteroid-based therapy. Both local and, in selected cases, systemic corticosteroid routes may be considered depending on disease severity and response.
