Mo Med. 2012 Jan-Feb;109(1):53-8.

Abstract

Rheumatologic diseases are often associated with ophthalmic findings. Familiarity with and recognition of these ophthalmic presentations are important in the management of both the systemic and ocular manifestations of the disease. Identification of ocular signs and symptoms of rheumatologic disease will allow a more comprehensive approach to treatment of patients with rheumatic conditions.
