Ocular manifestations in thalassemia minor

Abstract

The authors report the results of a study on 96 subjects affected with thalassemia minor. The study was made at the Center for the Study of Microcythemia of the OORR in Naples. Of extreme scientific interest is the finding of ocular involvement in 33.3% of the cases. Therefore, after formulating a pathogenetic hypothesis, the authors plan more involved studies and research on these patients.
