PurposeTo clarify the proportion of ocular sarcoidosis with severe, refractory, and prolonged inflammation and their association with ocular complications and visual prognosis.Study DesignMulticenter, retrospective, longitudinal cohort study.MethodsThree hundred and twenty-three eyes of 164 patients (45 men; 119 women) with ocular sarcoidosis who visited Hokkaido University Hospital and Yokohama City University Hospital from 2010 to 2015. We newly defined severe, refractory, and prolonged inflammation in ocular sarcoidosis, and investigated their proportions, ocular complications and final visual acuity from medical records of our sarcoidosis patients.ResultsThe eyes with severe inflammation numbered 72/323 (22.3%), with refractory inflammation, 80/323 (24.8%), and with prolonged inflammation, 91/323 (28.2%). The number of eyes having neither severe, refractory, nor prolonged inflammation (defined as none) was 114/323 (35.3%). The numbers of eyes that reached irreversible visual dysfunction were 6/72 (8.3%) of those with severe inflammation, 10/80 (12.5%) with refractory inflammation, 12/91 (13.2%) with prolonged inflammation, and 4/114 (6.2%) with none. As complications, cataract (62.2%), glaucoma (28.5%), epiretinal membrane (24.1%), cystoid macular edema (22.6%), vitreous hemorrhage (2.8%), choroidal atrophy (2.5%), macular degeneration (1.2%), macular hole (0.9%) and retinal detachment (0.3%) were identified. Among them, secondary glaucoma (16 eyes) and macular degeneration (4 eyes) were major complications related to irreversible visual dysfunction.ConclusionsAlthough most of the patients with ocular sarcoidosis had a relatively good visual prognosis, some developed severe, refractory, and/or prolonged inflammation related to the development of ocular complications, that resulted in poor visual prognosis.
