Abstract

Ocular tuberculosis is a challenge in ophthalmic practice because it is extremely difficult to diagnose it.
The term ocular tuberculosis indicates any infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in, on, or around the
eye. It tends to affect all the structures of the eye. Clinical manifestations of ocular tuberculosis depends on
the site and severity of its infection. Diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis is entirely clinical, though
investigation should be made to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment of ocular tuberculosis is the same as for
that of pulmonary tuberculosis.
