“…The clinical presentation of the cases presented here is similar to the classic description of sympathetic ophthalmia and also comparable to two of the cases reported following diode CPC in which deterioration of vision was accompanied by granulomatous uveitis and exudative retinal detachments 5 6. No description of the clinical presentation was found for the other two cases 7. An interesting observation in our study was the prominent posterior segment involvement in four cases, two of which had extremely mild anterior segment inflammation.…”

Additionally, increasing numbers of patients undergoing multiple surgeries may be additive in inciting sympathetic ophthalmia [63]. …”
