Abstract

Ocular manifestations of psoriasis are generally underrepresented in the literature and can often be missed by clinicians. Appreciation of eye involvement in psoriasis is especially important for dermatologists and ophthalmologists who may be closely involved with treating afflicted patients. Depending on the involved site and severity of the condition, signs and symptoms of ocular psoriasis can vary from asymptomatic erythema to debilitating scarring and vision loss. Treatment is critical to prevent disease progression and to improve the quality of life for these patients. We discuss the various clinical manifestations and treatment options for ocular complications in patients with psoriasis, including specific circumstances that should trigger immediate referral to our ophthalmology colleagues.
