    Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), is a global epidemic with a near 100% fatality rate. Ocular manifestations are common, but effective treatments are lacking, emphasizing prevention.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Virology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), is a severe global health crisis with a high mortality rate.
    • The disease affects diverse populations worldwide, presenting widespread systemic effects, notably including significant ophthalmologic manifestations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the ophthalmologic manifestations of AIDS.
    • To highlight the range of ocular infections and conditions associated with HIV/AIDS.
    • To discuss the current therapeutic landscape and preventive strategies for AIDS.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of AIDS and its ocular complications.
    • Analysis of causative agents and clinical presentations of eye infections in AIDS patients.

  • Examination of neuro-ophthalmologic findings and vascular abnormalities in the retina.

    • Main Results:

    • The eye can be infected by numerous pathogens including HIV, CMV, HSV, VZV, Toxoplasma gondii, Candida, Cryptococcus, M. tuberculosis, and M. avium-intracellulare.
    • Kaposi's sarcoma can affect the eye; retinal vascular abnormalities like cotton-wool spots and vasculitis are frequent.
    • Neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations are observed in AIDS patients.

    Conclusions:

    • AIDS presents diverse and severe ocular complications, impacting vision and potentially indicating disease progression.
    • Currently, no definitive treatment for AIDS exists, though promising therapies and vaccine development are underway.
    • Prevention of HIV infection through risk reduction remains the primary defense against AIDS and its associated opportunistic infections.
