Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Pregnancy is associated with various physiological and pathological ocular changes.
  • These changes can lead to new eye diseases or alter the course of pre-existing conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the ocular changes that occur during pregnancy.
  • To discuss specific conditions including diabetic retinopathy, uveitis, preeclampsia, cortical blindness, and central serous chorioretinopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent reports and literature.
  • Analysis of the pathophysiology of specific ocular diseases in pregnancy.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic tools like optical coherence tomography.

Main Results:

  • Enhanced understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy and preeclampsia-associated cortical blindness.
  • Insights into how pregnancy influences inflammatory eye diseases.
  • Utility of optical coherence tomography in managing central serous chorioretinopathy during pregnancy.

Conclusions:

  • Improved understanding of ocular disease pathophysiology in pregnancy.
  • Better ability to counsel pregnant women or those planning pregnancy regarding eye health.
