Bilateral Lupus Chorioretinopathy in a Patient With Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Ocular involvement is commonly seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, chorioretinopathy is an easily missed ocular manifestation of SLE. Early recognition and a multidisciplinary treatment approach can play a key role in reducing the ocular and systemic morbidity seen with this condition. This case report describes a patient with active SLE who presented with bilateral lupus chorioretinopathy. The patient demonstrated a significant improvement in ocular symptoms once the systemic disease was controlled.
