Objective: Reports of eye involvement in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), including significant retinopathy with visual loss, have led some to recommend routine formal ophthalmologic assessments for all patients with JDM at diagnosis. Our objective was to document the frequency and spectrum of eye involvement in patients followed in a single clinic caring for children with JDM.
Methods: A chart review was conducted of formal ophthalmologic consultation notes for patients with JDM followed at the Hospital for Sick Children between 1981 and 2002.
