Ocular and eyelid involvement in collagen vascular diseases. Part II. Dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and sarcoidosis

Collagen vascular disease is a heterogeneous group of autoimmune diseases that affect multiple organ systems. Sjögren syndrome, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, and sarcoidosis are collagen vascular diseases that often present with characteristic cutaneous manifestations. Although less known, various ocular manifestations that affect both external and internal structures of the eye can also be seen in these conditions. Multidisciplinary management between dermatologists and ophthalmologists is essential in the early diagnosis and management of collagen vascular diseases affecting both the skin and eye. In part II of our series, we discuss the ocular manifestations, diagnosis, and therapeutic options of dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and sarcoidosis.
