Is it actually what you are seeing? See that again! It is delightful for us to bring this issue based on masquerades to you. Masquerades in ophthalmology are not just related to uveitic syndromes, but these encompass a broad array of ocular manifestations that may be hiding some other entity behind the veil. From the conjunctival carcinomas presenting as chronic conjunctivitis, an OSSN presenting with keratopathy- or a pterygium-like morphology, lenticular anomalies presenting with pictures of lens-induced glaucoma, primary malignancies of the eye including the ghostly melanomas or secondaries presenting as uveitis, mass effects of cysts leading to picture of cranial nerve palsies or vitritis, to the dreaded retinoblastoma that can present in the form of any known ocular abnormality, the picture is plethoric. It requires a great deal of clinical suspicion at the back of the mind while dealing with any case to diagnose appropriately for the timely management and salvaging of the vision and the eye. “The eyes only see what the mind knows,” as goes the famous saying; so “Suspect, suspect, and suspect” and the results follow. Hope this issue ignites that spark to delve into the learning and thinking process. Happy reading.
