Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Ocular tuberculosis (OTB) is a significant cause of visual morbidity and can have varied clinical manifestations. Recent advances in imaging and molecular diagnostic methods have greatly improved our understanding of the disease process. We conducted a search of published articles related to the diagnosis of ocular tuberculosis as of December 2021. Keywords were used to search the databases. Databases that were searched included PubMed and Scopus. Areas covered This review highlights the role of novel imaging modalities including ultra-widefield fundus photography, widefield fluorescein angiography, widefield indocyanine green angiography, swept-source optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography in the diagnosis of OTB. Radiological, immunological, and molecular diagnostic methods and their role in diagnosis of OTB have been discussed as well. Expert opinion With recent advancements in imaging, radiological, immunological, and molecular diagnostic methods, it is now possible to diagnose and treat ocular tuberculosis with greater accuracy, resulting in better treatment outcomes.
