About the Systemic Diseases and the Eye Session
Systemic Diseases and the Eye examines ocular manifestations of diseases originating beyond the eye and highlights the role of ophthalmic findings in broader patient care. The session includes metabolic, autoimmune, neurological, cardiovascular, endocrine, infectious, and treatment-related conditions with important consequences for ocular health and vision.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Submissions may address ocular manifestations of systemic disease, interdisciplinary diagnosis, systemic treatment effects, biomarkers, screening, disease monitoring, and integrated management. Ophthalmologists, physicians, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, researchers, and other specialists involved in multisystem disorders are invited to participate.
