Abstract

Ocular involvement is common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ranging from relatively mild dry eye syndrome to severe sight-threatening disease. The recognition of ocular manifestations is important in the treatment of ocular disease and may indicate underlying active systemic inflammation. Ophthalmic sequelae may also arise from the systemic treatments required for the treatment of SLE.
