  • Title: Involvement of the eye in SLE and scleroderma. A study using fluorescein angiography in addition to clinical ophthalmic assessment.
    Author: Grennan DM, Forrester J.
    Journal: Ann Rheum Dis; 1977 Apr; 36(2):152-6. PubMed ID: 856066.
    Abstract:
    General examination of the eye was carried out in 22 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and in 10 with scleroderma. 3 of the SLE and 2 of the scleroderma patients had keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Fluorescein angiography showed abnormalities of the retinal vasculature in one of a subgroup of 12 SLE patients and one of 10 scleroderma patients. None of the 12 SLE patients had abnormalities of the choroidal vasculature, while 5 of the 10 scleroderma patients had patchy areas of nonperfusion of the choroidal capillary bed.
