Corneal manifestations are common in systemic diseases, including dry eye syndrome linked to autoimmune conditions and diabetes. Various systemic disorders can also lead to corneal ulcers, infections, deposits, and lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Systemic Diseases

Background:

  • Corneal involvement frequently complicates systemic diseases.
  • Dry eye syndrome is often associated with autoimmune disorders.
  • Type I diabetes mellitus correlates with dry eye syndrome severity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diverse corneal manifestations of systemic diseases.
  • To highlight the diagnostic significance of corneal findings in systemic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of corneal involvement in systemic diseases.
  • Analysis of associations between specific systemic conditions and ocular findings.

Main Results:

  • Autoimmune diseases, malignancies, and diabetes are linked to ulcerative keratitis.

  • Opportunistic infections can affect non-immunocompromised individuals.
  • Storage and dermatologic diseases cause corneal deposits and lesions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Corneal examination is crucial for diagnosing and managing systemic diseases.
    • Ocular findings provide valuable diagnostic clues for systemic conditions.
