Increased intra-ocular tension accompanying uveitis is not an infrequent symptom. This is especially true in ocular tuberculosis of a certain type, and when accompanied by other characteristic symptoms it should strongly suggest the nature of the etiology of the ocular disease.

I have been impressed with the frequency with which the following group of symptoms accompanies a certain form of ocular tuberculosis:

1. 1. Keratitic precipitates of the mutton-fat variety.
   
2. 2. Evanescent grayish nodules at the pupillary margin of the iris (the so-called Gilbert-Koeppe nodules).
   
3. 3. Increased intra-ocular tension.
   
4. 4. Vitreous exudates.
   
5. 5. One or more yellowish tubercles in the choroid.
