It is well known that the development of sympathetic ophthalmia is almost always secondary to an accidental or surgical penetrating wound of the eye.

The exciting eye. (left) was enucleated and showed typical findings of sympathetic ophthalmia.. The patient has done well on steroids and whenever the steroids was diminished or discontinued, there was aggrevation of-inflammation.
The visual result was relatively favorable.
