| [Abstract] Objective: To describe the ocular complications of 62 patients with active atopic dermatitis (AD) treated at the Department of Ophthalmology and Dermatology of Ruijin Hospital, as well as at the Department of Ophthalmology of Shanghai E.E.N.T Hospital during the period of 2003–2006. Methods: Routine ophthalmic examinations, including slit-lamp microscope, indirect ophthalmoscope or Goldmann three-mirror lens, A-scan and B-scan ultrasound, ultrasound biomicroscope(UBM) and corneal topography, as well as tear film break-up time (BUT) and Schirmer tests were carried out. Results: Cataract（28 eyes）, keratoconjunctivitis（42 eyes），superficial punctate keratopathy（45 eyes）and tear function abnormality ( 76 eyes ) were major ocular complications in AD patients. Retinal detachment（6 eyes）was the most severe ocular complication in the AD patients. Conclusions: Ocular complications are common in AD patients and a very careful examination of eyes is essential in treating AD patients. Especially for the patients with retinal breaks or retinal detachment, if the eyes can be examed carefully and in time, some operations and severe complications can be avoidable. |
