Abstract:
The early recognition and appropriate management of diseases affecting the retina and choroid is important to optimise visual outcomes. However, treating these conditions in pregnant women may pose unique challenges and requires multidisciplinary collaboration between obstetricians and ophthalmologists. This review provides an overview of chorioretinal conditions that may arise or worsen during pregnancy or labour, their clinical presentation, current evidence on management in pregnant women, as well as their relevance to maternal-fetal health.
