Buerger’s disease, also known as thromboangiitis obliterans, is a disorder of primarily small and medium arteries and veins of the arms and legs. We have failed to find a comprehensive review discussing a possible link between the disease and the eyes. The aim of this study is to review current knowledge on the topic of ocular manifestations in the course of Buerger’s disease. The Medline and Web of Science databases were searched without a time or language limit. We have managed to review 13 articles, describing the involvement of the eyes in thromboangiitis obliterans. It appears that patients suffering from Buerger’s disease may develop non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), occlusive retinal vasculitis and periphlebitis, papillophlebitis, central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO), normal tension glaucoma (NTG), uveitis, chorioretinal atrophy, retinitis, papillitis, optic atrophy, changes typical for hypertensive retinopathy. Additionally the abnormalities in electroretinography might be present. The treatment options and the possible outcome depend on the type of ocular manifestations, so it seems impossible to propose a universal therapy. We would like to raise awareness of the possible ocular manifestations in the course of Buerger’s disease.

“…Bernardczykowa and Zawilski [4] reported fundoscopic findings in the spectrum of hypertensive retinopathy among 52 affected individuals, including narrowing of the retinal arteries, early sclerotic changes and arteriosclerosis. Case reports have also described other rare ocular manifestations of TAO, varying from non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) [5,6] and papillophlebitis [7] to normal tension glaucoma [8]. There has only been a single case report of central retinal artery ischemic event associated with TAO [9] that lacked visible retinal emboli.…”
