This review highlights critical warning scenarios that clinicians must not overlook, including differentiating acute anterior uveitis from bacterial endophthalmitis, and distinguishing tuberculous retinal vasculitis from Eale's disease. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of recognizing sarcoidosis versus fungal endophthalmitis to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
