Dr. Gargi Achwal | Dr. Prajakta Patil | Dr. Sanjana Hegde
Abstract: Introduction: In the field of ophthalmology, the intersection between hematological disorders and retinal manifestations presents a complex and intriguing area of study. The retina can exhibit various signs and symptoms reflective of underlying hematological abnormalities. Understanding these retinal manifestations not only aids in early diagnosis but also sheds light on the intricate relationship between systemic health and ocular pathology.Aims and Ojectives: To assess the prevalence of retinal manifestations and to study the various fundus changes in the patients with hematological disorders. Methodology: This is a study involving 60 patients having various types of blood dyscrasias, conducted in Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Deemed University, Karad. Results and observation: Out of 60 patients, 42% patients had anaemia, 53% patients had hematological malignancies and 5% patients had bleeding disorders. Out of those, 77% of patients had retinopathy. Discussion: The presence of retinal manifestations in hematological disorders underscores the importance of ophthalmic evaluation in patients with systemic diseases. These manifestations can vary widely, including hemorrhages, vascular changes, and ischemic events, reflecting the impact of hematological abnormalities on retinal microvasculature. Early recognition of these signs can aid in the diagnosis and management of underlying hematological conditions, improving overall patient outcomes.
