Article Abstract
Rheumatic diseases are associated with a significant decline in quality of life, which is not only related to the progression of the underlying disease but also to the development of coexisting conditions. One of the possible complications in this group of diseases is ocular involvement. Impaired vision is strongly associated with a significant decline in quality of life and can also exacerbate problems related to physical functioning. Consequently, it can lead to serious complications in the treatment of the underlying disease. Additionally, from a clinical point of view, it is also important to note that ocular diseases may precede the occurrence of inflammatory joint and spinal diseases, as well as organ involvement in systemic connective tissue disorders. Therefore, paying attention to ocular symptoms can help in early diagnosis and thus improve patient prognosis. For the aforementioned reasons, ocular diseases should be carefully considered in routine rheumatologic practice.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California. Electronic address:
Purpose To determine the corneal topographic characteristics of children with blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC), a chronic inflammatory ocular surface disease involving the lid margin, conjunctiva, and cornea. Methods The corneal topography of 21 children diagnosed with BKC between March 2008 and June 2019 at a single institution were reviewed retrospectively. Pachymetry and asymmetry indices were also analyzed.

Because of its benign nature and rarity, circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) often receives limited attention, leading to a high rate of misdiagnosis and a lack of standardized treatment protocols. We provide a thorough clarification of the demographics, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of CCH. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Ovid databases up to December, 2023, to identify relevant studies.

Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Neurology, Peking University First Hospital, China.
Objective: Whereas a few studies have evaluated vestibular involvement in Fabry disease (FD), the relationship between vestibular/oculomotor abnormalities and disease-specific biomarkers remain unclear. Therefore, we seek to evaluate these quantitatively and analyze their relationship with disease phenotype and biomarkers in FD.
Methods: This cohort study enrolled 37 Chinese FD patients registered in our center.
Impact of COVID-19 on Ocular Surface Health: Infection Mechanisms, Immune Modulation, and Inflammatory Responses.

Department of Ophthalmology, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450003, China.
COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has presented formidable challenges to global health since its emergence in late 2019. While primarily known for respiratory symptoms, it can also affect the ocular surface. This review summarizes the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on ocular surface immunity and inflammation, focusing on infection mechanisms, immune responses, and clinical manifestations.

The widespread use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has increased blue light (BL) exposure, raising concerns about its potential adverse effects on ocular health. Prolonged exposure to BL has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various retinal disorders, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), primarily through mechanisms involving oxidative stress and inflammation mediated by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This review synthesizes current evidence on the photoprotective properties of dietary bioactive compounds, (e.
