Pregnancy causes significant ocular changes, both physiological and pathological, impacting vision. This review summarizes current literature on these pregnancy-related eye conditions, some of which may cause lasting visual impairment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Pregnancy induces widespread physiological and non-physiological bodily alterations.
  • The eyes are susceptible to various changes during gestation.
  • These ocular changes can stem from pregnancy itself or exacerbate pre-existing conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the current scientific literature.
  • To detail the spectrum of ocular changes observed during pregnancy.
  • To highlight potential impacts on visual function.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review.
  • Analysis of existing research on pregnancy-induced ocular conditions.
  • Synthesis of findings on physiological and pathological eye changes.

Main Results:

  • Identified numerous ocular changes, ranging from physiological adaptations to pathological manifestations.
  • Documented that some pregnancy-related ocular conditions are reversible.
  • Noted that certain changes can result in permanent visual impairment.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular changes are a common occurrence during pregnancy.
  • Understanding these changes is crucial for managing maternal eye health.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are essential to prevent lasting visual deficits.
