Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having pain, sensitivity to light, flashes and floaters....
Since you are diagnosed with sarcoidosis these symptoms indicate probable uveitis/ pars planitis.
This requires evaluation by a ophthalmologist by indirect ophthalmoscopy for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
The treatment is by steroids under supervision of ophthalmologist.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment.

Thank you
