PURPOSE: To evaluate ocular involvement in patients with sarcoidosis. METHODS: The prevalence of ocular manifestations was studied in 139 Turkish patients with sarcoidosis as a cross section. Color photography and fluorescein angiography were performed on patients suspected of having ocular involvement. RESULTS: Ocular involvement was seen in 12.9% patients. Of 18 patients with ocular sarcoidosis, 39% had anterior and posterior involvement, 28% only anterior, 11% only posterior, 16.7% conjuctival, and 5.6% eyelid involvement. There was no statistically significant relationship between radiological grading and ocular involvement. CONCLUSIONS: The most common ocular involvement in this study was both anterior and posterior segment involvement.
