Ocular toxoplasmosis presents with which combination of symptoms?

• A. Eye pain, photophobia, tearing, blurred vision
• B. Redness and itchiness only
• C. Double vision and ear pain
• D. Nausea and vomiting

Answer: (A)

Ocular toxoplasmosis causes inflammation of the retina and choroid (retinochoroiditis), which leads to eye pain, sensitivity to light (photophobia), tearing, and blurred vision. This combination reflects an active inflammatory process in the eye that disrupts vision and brings discomfort, rather than just surface redness or unrelated symptoms. Often the infection is unilateral and presents with a focal retinal lesion and surrounding inflammation, which can worsen visual clarity and provoke photophobia and tearing. The other symptom clusters—redness with itching only, double vision with ear pain, or nausea and vomiting—don’t align with the typical inflammatory, vision-threatening eye involvement seen in ocular toxoplasmosis.
