Beware of the Bleb

A bleb-related infection (BRI) should always be considered in patients with a history of bleb-forming glaucoma surgery. Misdiagnosed or undertreated bleb-related infections can lead to endophthalmitis and permanent vision loss. Clinicians should understand the serious nature of BRIs and be knowledgeable about risk factors, treatment, and diagnosis to prevent vision loss in these patients.

Sarcoid-Induced Uveitis: A Tattooed Journey

When a patient presents with an anterior uveitis that is suspicious for a systemic etiology, it is important to explore all areas of clinical care to determine the cause. Traditionally, the initial approach is to perform an appropriate lab work-up. Beyond this, areas of specialty that are typically considered include rheumatology, radiology, and infectious disease. However, this case report will present a patient that required intervention from dermatology to confirm the source of ocular inflammation.
