“…It is widely recognized that children with higher hyperopia are likely to display strabismus, amblyopia, and poor stereopsis, but other systemic disorders and/or developmental abnormalities have also been reported [ 9 ]. Higher myopia is usually associated with eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and choroidal neovascularization, significantly contributing to augmenting the risk of visual impairment and blindness in these patients [ 10 ]. Other eye comorbidities have been described in cases of advanced surface ablation during laser refractive surgery that manifested themselves in the postoperative period with signs and symptoms such as burning/foreign body sensation, tearing, pain, and photophobia.…”

Coexistence of several ocular diseases is more frequent than suspected. In spite of the refractive errors, one or more of the following can be detected simultaneously: glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis, age-related macular degeneration, and dry eyes. In addition, as people age, ocular comorbidities are much more usually seen. Specific diseases are openly acknowledged to affect the eyes and vision, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension blood pressure, arthritis, hyperthyroidism, neurodegenerative disorders, hematologic malignancies, and/or systemic infections. Recent advances in early diagnosis and therapy of the ophthalmic pathologies have reinforced patient options to prevent visual impairment and blindness. Because of this, it is essential not to overlook sight-threatening conditions such as the ocular comorbidities and/or the eye involvement in the context of systemic disorders. Moreover, the important role of the multidisciplinary cooperation to improve and sustain management of patients affected with eclectic ocular comorbidities and/or systemic disorders with eye repercussion is specifically addressed. This review intends to shed light on these topics to help in making opportune diagnosis and appropriately managing the affected patients.
