Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a long-lasting dermatological disease that is associated with ophthalmic complications in the long run. Those having AD are more likely at risk of developing comorbidities in eye as compared to normal persons. This review encompasses the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and treatment of common ophthalmic complications presented with AD i.e., blepharitis, kerato-conjunctivitis, corneal ectasias,
glaucomatous eyes, lens opacification, detachment of retina, herpetic eye disease (HED) and dupilumab associated eye toxicities. It is necessary for dermatology colleagues to be vigilant enough not to miss ophthalmic problems associated with AD, as an early detection and management can save the vision.
