Περίληψη:
Pregnancy is a normal state of physiological stress that induces significant changes in the human body, some of which can potentially affect the visual system. The pregnant state may exacerbate pre-existing ocular disorders (i.e. diabetic retinopathy or central serous retinopathy). Moreover, other systemic conditions related to pregnancy can induce ophthalmic disorders affecting the retina and the choroid, some of which are of acute nature. Increasing awareness and improving collaboration between ophthalmologists, obstetricians and internists can play a pivotal role in the management of complex conditions during pregnancy. Special attention should be given while prescribing medications or deciding about other diagnostic or therapeutic techniques. The purpose of this review is to summarise the physiologic and pathologic effects of pregnancy in the eyes, highlighting the most acute clinical entities that may be threatening for the vision or even the life of the mother and her baby. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
