Vsolution Eye Care

Tuberculosis can involve the posterior segment of the eye, producing characteristic fundus findings. Common manifestations include choroidal tubercles (small yellowish-white lesions in the choroid), choroidal granulomas (larger elevated masses), multifocal choroiditis, and serpiginous-like choroiditis. Retinal involvement may present as retinal vasculitis, retinal hemorrhages, vascular occlusions, and macular edema. In some cases, optic disc swelling (papillitis) or optic nerve granulomas may be observed. These lesions can lead to reduced vision if the macula or optic nerve is affected.

Fundus Appearance: Multiple yellow-white choroidal lesions, retinal vascular sheathing, hemorrhages, areas of chorioretinal scarring, and optic disc edema may be seen depending on the stage and severity of the disease.

👁️ Papillitis (Optic Neuritis): When the Eye's Vital Nerve Becomes Inflamed

Papillitis is an inflammation of the optic nerve head that can cause sudden vision loss, pain when moving the eye, and difficulty seeing colors clearly. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to protect vision and identify any underlying health conditions.

If you notice sudden changes in your vision, don't ignore them—seek professional eye care promptly.
