Abstract

Many eye diseases are associated with systemic diseases. Moreover, ophthalmological findings can be first manifestations of systemic diseases. Therefore internists and ophthalmologists should be familiar with the signs, symptoms, and the management of eye diseases with a possible systemic association. Due to subspecialization in medicine an interdisciplinary approach is mandatory for optimal patient care. In this article examples of eye diseases with a possible association with systemic diseases are presented.
