Abstract:
Spondyloarthropathies (SpA) are systemic inflammatory disorders often presenting with ocular involvement. This observational study conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, SSMC Rewa, evaluated ocular manifestations among patients diagnosed with various spondyloarthropathies. Ankylosing spondylitis was the most frequent subtype associated with ocular involvement (49%), with uveitis (25%) and dry eye (9%) being the predominant findings. Ocular manifestations were more common in males aged 30-39 years and showed a significant association with longer disease duration. Anterior uveitis emerged as the most prevalent manifestation, highlighting the importance of early detection and management to prevent vision-threatening complications.
