This concept, supported by advancements in imaging technologies, has been increasingly validated by studies linking retinal microvasculature with systemic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cerebrovascular disease. Structural changes in the retinal microvasculature are associated with cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic diseases, and are significant predictors of systemic hypertensive damage and mortality. Given that most systemic diseases present life-long burdens and complications if undetected or untreated, the development of diagnostic tools like retinal vascular imaging becomes important for early detection, monitoring of disease progression, and facilitating timely interventions. Technological advancements have enabled objective and accurate quantification of retinal microvascular characteristics. We consolidate current literature on retinal vascular changes across various systemic health conditions, including metabolic diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, pregnancy complications, systemic inflammatory conditions, leukemia, human immunodeficiency virus infection, and COVID-19.

MS-related uveitis is linked to diverse complications, encompassing cataracts, cystoid macular edema, band keratopathy, glaucoma, retinal detachment, retinoschisis, vitreous hemorrhage, and occlusive vasculitis. The relationship between uveitis and MS is firmly established, but various prevalence rates have been reported. Hence, this study aimed to determine the overall prevalence of uveitis and its different types among pwMS. The systematic search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science to identify studies published between January 1, 1990, and November 11, 2023. The meta-analysis was performed using R software version 4.3.2 with a random-effect model to calculate the pooled prevalence with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of uveitis among pwMS. From a total of 2,520 studies reviewed, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising a total of 54,402 pwMS. Of whom, 72% were female, and the mean (standard deviation) age was 43.5 (12.1) years.

It typically manifests during puberty and can evolve rapidly to more severe stages if left untreated. This rapid progression underscores the importance of early diagnosis through regular screening in pediatric populations and vigilant monitoring of pediatric keratoconus suspects. Concomitant ocular allergies, ocular anomalies, systemic diseases (e.g. syndromes), and poor compliance with contact lenses might impede prompt intervention and frequently postpone rehabilitation. Corneal collagen crosslinking is a crucial intervention in the management of pediatric keratoconus because it strengthens the corneal microstructure and halts the disease progression. When conservative measures fail, keratoplasty remains a viable option with generally favorable outcomes, though with unique challenges in post-operative care, including concerns related to sutures, long-term graft survival and need for repeated examinations under anesthesia.
