Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is rare in India with a
prevalence of 3 in 100,000.[1] SLE retinopathy is second most
common ocular manifestation after keratoconjunctivitis
sicca and a major vision‑threatening complication of SLE
with an incidence of upto 29% in patients with systemic
active disease.[2]
We present this photo essay to illustrate the classic
features of SLE retinopathy and the co‑ordinated role
of Ophthalmologist (including sub‑specialties) with
Physicians (Rheumatologist and/or Dermatologist) in
managing these multi‑system and multi‑organ autoimmune
disorders.
