View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

A slit lamp classification system is presented which follows the same divisions as the FDA Slit Lamp Classification System but expands the number of categories. It also differs in that there is an orderly progression of the various findings and a numbering system which allows for easy statistical analysis. In this way, the incidence of findings may be grouped according to degree of severity, and may be easily compared across different categories.

The eye and liver disorders.

There are ocular changes associated with a wide spectrum of congenital, familial and acquired liver diseases and disorders. The early identification of ocular changes may aid diagnosis of the underlying liver condition. This is particularly important in conditions where there are effective treatments which can arrest hepatic damage. It is also of considerable value in patients who have untreatable disorders because identification of the correct diagnosis may offer prognostic information and spare the patient unnecessary invasive investigation. This article discusses the ocular findings in selected liver disease and reviews the current literature on the subject. The principles of investigation and diagnosis and treatment are described. Data on the incidence and prevalence of ocular involvement in liver conditions are included where such figures are available. The potential transmission of viral hepatitis following corneal grafting is discussed.

The eyes give the clue. Ocular manifestations of systemic disease.

Many systemic diseases have ocular findings that can be seen with flashlight illumination or a direct ophthalmoscope. Many more diseases can be identified with extensive and specialized examination techniques, which are usually not readily available to primary care physicians. However, all physicians can increase their diagnostic accuracy by being aware of and looking for easily observed ocular signs of systemic disease.
