Abstract:
Eye involvement in psoriasis is little known to many dermatologists, although psoriasis has been acknowledged as a systemic disease for decades. The ophthalmic complications of psoriasis are numerous and can affect almost any part of the eye. The most common ocular changes in patients with psoriasis, including blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, iridocyclitis, UV-induced cataracts, uveitis, and birdshot chorioretinitis, have been described in the literature. Recognition of the ocular complications of psoriasis is of significant clinical importance, because various pathogenic mechanisms may contribute to the development of ocular manifestations, including direct eye involvement with psoriatic plaques, psoriasis-related immune-mediated inflammatory processes, and complications of psoriasis treatments.
