Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease, and ophthalmologists should continually assess patients for extraocular manifestations.

Patients with symptoms of cardiac disease, including palpitations, chest pain, and dyspnea, should have an evaluation by a cardiologist.
The visual prognosis in most cases of punctate inner choroidopathy is very good. The incidence rate of new CNV and recurrent CNV was 0.02/EY and 0.04/EY, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
