Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology, which may affect every organ. Ocular manifestation of sarcoidosis may be diagnosed in as many as 70% of patients. The objective of this work was to describe the ophthalmological and neuro-ophthalmological symptoms, which may occur in this disease, with a detailed division into eye structures. For this purpose, a search was conducted in the Pubmed, MEDline and Google Scholar databases to find the appropriate articles, which described investigation of sarcoidosis, ocular symptoms rate in sarcoidosis and were written in English. According to the literature the most frequent ocular manifestation of sarcoidosis is granulomatous anterior uveitis. Only early diagnosis and proper treatment may protect patients from late complications, leading to permanent damage to eyesight and complications in other organs.
