Pregnancy commonly causes visual changes, including risks from preeclampsia and diabetic retinopathy. Ocular conditions during pregnancy require careful management and often postpartum resolution or intervention.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Obstetrics
Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

Pregnancy is associated with various ocular changes.
Specific conditions like preeclampsia and diabetic retinopathy pose risks to vision during pregnancy.
Family physicians and obstetricians/gynecologists are key audiences for this information.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline common ocular changes during pregnancy.
To summarize visual disturbances linked to preeclampsia and diabetes.
To describe management strategies for pregnancy-related eye conditions.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on pregnancy-related ocular changes.
Analysis of risks associated with preeclampsia and diabetic retinopathy.

Synthesis of management guidelines for ophthalmologists and primary care physicians.

Main Results:

Pregnancy can lead to serous retinal detachments and increased risk of diabetic retinopathy progression.
Refractive surgery outcomes are unpredictable during pregnancy; postponement is advised.
Contact lens tolerance may decrease, and intraocular pressure can be affected.

Conclusions:

Ocular health requires attention during pregnancy, with specific considerations for preeclampsia and diabetes.
Management strategies involve monitoring, timely intervention, and often postpartum adjustments.
Further research is needed on the effects of glaucoma medications during pregnancy.
