    Vitiligo patients often show fundal pigment disturbances, such as pigment clumps and hypopigmented spots. While race influences some ocular findings like choroidal nevi, these variations appear unrelated to vitiligo itself.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Vitiligo is a condition causing skin depigmentation.
    • Ocular abnormalities can occur in patients with vitiligo.
    • The role of race in vitiligo-associated ocular issues requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate ocular abnormalities in patients with vitiligo.
    • To assess the influence of race on the occurrence of ocular disturbances in vitiligo patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined 156 patients diagnosed with vitiligo.
    • Evaluated ocular abnormalities, including fundal pigment disturbance, choroidal nevi, and iris transillumination.
    • Analyzed data for racial variations between white and black patients.

    Main Results:

    • 40% of vitiligo patients exhibited fundal pigment disturbances (pigment clumps, hypopigmented spots, choroidal nevi).
    • Significant racial variations were observed in the incidence of choroidal nevi (p=0.001) and iris transillumination (p=0.0012).

    Conclusions:

    • Fundal pigment disturbances are common in vitiligo patients.
    • Observed racial variations in ocular findings are likely normal population differences, not directly caused by vitiligo.
