Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your wife is having cataract and glaucoma. Sarcoidosis can cause these as a complication of uveitis if there is ocular sarcoidosis.
But the steroid drugs are known more commonly to cause this.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
