Table 3.
Ocular Structure | Common Ocular Manifestations |
---|---|
Eyelids | Periorbital edema and fibrosis leading to blepharophimosis, lid telangiectasia, lid induration, cicatricial ectropion, MGD |
Cornea and conjunctiva | KCS, subepithelial fibrosis, and progressive forniceal shortening are most common. Congestion and telangiectasia, exposure keratopathy (secondary to lid changes), decreased corneal sensation, keratoconus |
Sclera | Scleral ischemia, scleral pit |
Uvea | Iritis, iris sector atrophy and heterochromia, iris sphincter dysfunction, choroidal hypoperfusion, and ischemic choroidopathy |
Retina | Cotton wool spots, retinal hemorrhages, hard exudates, retinal vascular occlusions, macular ischemia, parafoveal telangiectasia |
Neuro-ophthalmic | Optic disk neovascularization, perineuritis |
Orbit | Acquired Brown syndrome, painful retrobulbar fibrosis, ocular myopathy (superior rectus commonly) |
KCS=keratoconjunctivitis sicca, MGD=meibomian gland dysfunction
