Common skin conditions can sometimes present with mild to severe ocular manifestations, which can lead to damage to the eye or even vision loss in extreme cases. Ocular symptoms can range from mild to severe. Long-term drugs, such as steroids, hydroxychloroquine, retinoic acid, and immunosuppressive agents, are often recommended to dermatology patients. These treatments can have indirect side effects on the eyes and are one of the primary causes of ocular manifestations in dermatology patients.
