| - | Marshall Protocol (MP) patients who have sarcoidosis or symptoms of eye inflammation should have an initial visit by an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor) to be sure that they do not have any conditions that need specific treatment. In general, people with sarcoidosis should have at least annual eye exams. For MP patients who have any specific conditions that the doctor is following, more frequent exams may be necessary. | + | Marshall Protocol (MP) patients who have sarcoidosis or symptoms of eye inflammation should have an initial visit by an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor) to be sure that they do not have any conditions that need specific treatment. In general, people with sarcoidosis should have at least annual eye exams, with a photograph taken of the retina for future comparison. For MP patients who have any specific conditions that the doctor is following, more frequent exams may be necessary. |
| The eye exam should include a painless (numbing drops are used beforehand) procedure to measure ocular pressure. Inflammation or steroid use (even topical PredForte) can cause increased pressure in the eye, which could cause irreversible damage. An increase in eye pressure is often undetectable by the patient, so eye pressure should be measured with each eye exam. It is not necessary to dilate the eyes before ocular pressure is measured. If eye inflammation is present, monthly eye exams may be needed. | The eye exam should include a painless (numbing drops are used beforehand) procedure to measure ocular pressure.
