PURPOSE: To report bilateral ocular hypertension in association with ocular sarcoidosis. METHODS: Case note review of patients with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis-related uveitis. RESULTS: The authors identified 5 patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for ocular sarcoidosis and who had intraocular pressures of > 40 mmHg in each eye. CONCLUSIONS: Physicians should be aware of the association of raised intraocular pressure with ocular sarcoidosis.
