Abstract
Pregnancy causes changes in all body systems, including the eye. The eye can undergo physiological and pathological changes in pregnancy. Some changes exacerbate pre-existing eye conditions while other conditions manifest for the first-time during pregnancy. Early recognition and management are essential to prevent sight threatening complications. In addition, some obstetric complications can be associated with ophthalmic signs. Prompt recognition of these eye findings may be life saving for both the mother and the foetus. The aim of this article is to present potential ocular complications in pregnancy and outline the appropriate management to preserve sight and maintain maternal and foetal safety. The safety of the use of common ophthalmological medications will also be discussed.
