Sarcoidosis of the eye

Eye lesions may occur in up to one-quarter of patients. In some situations, inflammation of the eye can have a rapid onset with blurred vision, sensitivity to light and excessive tears. Sometimes, the conjunctiva, which is the red part of the eyelid, can have small, pale yellow nodules.

Topical corticosteroid therapy may be utilized for some forms of eye inflammation. Prednisone tablets are recommended for granulomas that have affected certain parts of the eye such as the retina, the optic nerve, the lacrimal glands, eyelids or the eye muscles.
