Ocular Manifestations of Systemic Diseases
This special issue belongs to the section “Ophthalmology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many systemic diseases have ocular manifestations, including diabetes mellitus, fibromyalgia, Gulf War syndrome, and Sjögrens syndrome, to name a few. In fact, it is not uncommon for eye findings to prompt a diagnosis and/or direct therapy of a systemic condition. Given the importance of ocular manifestations as potential biomarkers for systemic diseases, the potential morbidity of systemic diseases to the individual and society, and the impact of chronic diseases on health care costs, it is imperative for clinicians to understand the relationships between systemic diseases and eye findings and further understand how these relationships can be translated into better diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms on both an individual and population level.
