“…Lower IOP has been consistently reported in pregnant women in previous studies, and is assumed to be related to increased uveoscleral outflow and decreased episcleral venous pressure 6 24. Worsening of myopia during pregnancy has also been reported in the literature 25.…”

“…From an ophthalmological point of view, various ocular conditions may occur uniquely during pregnancy and some ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, may worsen 4. Previous studies have reported increased central corneal thickness,5 changes in corneal curvature, and intraocular pressure (IOP)6 during pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia or eclampsia associated retinopathy and amniotic fluid embolism are unique to pregnancy 4.…”

“…Goldich et al 9 compared 60 pregnant women with the same number of non-pregnant women and found statistically significantly greater anterior corneal curvature and lower IOP in pregnant women but no significant differences in corneal posterior curvature, central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) between the groups. Atas et al 4 reported statistically significantly greater anterior flat and steep keratometry values, CCT, corneal volume, anterior chamber depth, angle and volume and lower IOP during pregnancy compared with 3 months post partum.…”

“…Some retinal diseases are more common during pregnancy (such as central serous chorioretinopathy and uveal melanoma), some may exacerbate during pregnancy, but it is not generally acceptable to recommend abortion on such grounds 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28.

PurposeTo evaluate and compare the attitudes of ophthalmologists and gynecologists in suggesting appropriate approach to pregnancy in different ocular conditions.MethodsSpecialty-specific questionnaires on delivery mode and abortion indications for ophthalmic patients (refractive, vascular, oncologic, retinal, glaucoma, postoperation, posttrauma, and infectious) were designed and distributed among physician staff of Farabi Eye Hospital and Yas Women Hospital in Tehran. Attitudes and preferences of the ophthalmologists and gynecologists were quantified and compared.ResultsParticipants were 29 ophthalmologists and 19 gynecologists. Their mean age was 49.73 ± 7.57 and 46.79 ± 1.36 years, respectively. More than 50–70% ophthalmologists were in favor of normal vaginal delivery (NVD) in all ocular diseases. All gynecologists (100%) expressed their need for an ophthalmologist's opinion for decision-making. Ophthalmologists' top choices for conditions potentially requiring a caesarean section were corneal transplants (34.5%), high myopia (23%), retinal detachment (29%), and orbital tumors (34.5%), while two gynecologists recommended abortion in the presence of intraocular and orbital tumors and retinal detachment.In the case of a history of refractive surgery, orbital tumor and intraocular tumor, ophthalmologists recommend NVD over caesarean section twice as much as their gynecologist peers. For history of retinal detachment, glaucoma, retinal vascular accident and intraocular hemorrhage, no single gynecologist recommend NVD. The corresponding figure for ophthalmologist-recommended NVD were 67, 84, 72, and 81%.ConclusionsThere is extreme inconsistency among ophthalmologists and gynecologists in managing ophthalmic-obstetric scenarios, especially for caesarean section indications. Clinical guideline development and consultation for decision-making in challenging cases are recommended.
