Abstract:
A variety of systemic diseases may affect both the hand and eye, leading to profound sensory and functional deficits. The aetiology of some of the most common conditions is reviewed, with an explanation of their manifestations in the hand and eye. Recognition of the association between a hand condition and ocular pathology may aid in diagnosis of a systemic disorder or allow early detection and prevention of ocular disease and loss of vision.
