PurposeTo summarize available literature on physiologic and pathologic ocular changes during pregnancy.MethodsNarrative review of literature.ResultsOcular changes occur commonly during pregnancy. Although most of these are benign physiologic responses to the metabolic, hormonal, and immunologic modifications to adopt the gestational product, there is some serious pathology that may develop, exacerbate, or even resolve over the course of pregnancy which requires prompt diagnosis and management. The pathological eye conditions can be classified into preexisting pathologies and emerging ocular diseases. Regardless of the different mechanisms by which these ocular changes occur, the key point is the establishment of an effective perinatal screening program to monitor the new development or successive progression of these ocular abnormalities. Irrespective of the visual health status of the pregnant women, regular perinatal eye examination should be scheduled in order to assure continuous surveillance of healthy eyes. Treatment of pathologic ocular conditions or functionally disturbing benign changes relies on an appropriate patient selection.ConclusionsDiscriminating pathological eye disease from physiologic ocular changes is important in order to establish an individualized treatment or preventive plan and constitutes the mainstay of obstetric ophthalmology. This individualized approach should always weigh the ocular benefits of treatment to the mother against the potential harms to the fetus.

“…Doppler ultrasonography of orbital vessels is a valuable method that can aid in detection of subclinical changes impossible to diagnose by traditional methods. It is a noninvasive, relatively cheap and widespread tool . The ability of this technique to provide quantitative measurements of vascular flow opens up a new range of diagnostic possibilities, and allows statistical analysis with a greater degree of diagnostic discrimination in pathologies whose pathophysiology seems to involve vascular factors …”

“…For the statistical analysis, the sample size was calculated in 200 patients with G*Power software (version 3.0.10; Heinrich‐Heine‐Universität, Düsseldorf, Germany), 14,18 adopting an effect size of f = 0.082, α error probability of .05, and test power of 0.95. The analyses were performed considering the 3 groups, with quantitative variables presented as the mean and standard deviation and qualitative variables as the frequency and percentage.…”

“…This study was justified by the need to describe the hemodynamic behavior of the OAs in pregnant women with pregestational DM with and without retinopathy to better understand the impact of hyperglycemia on the retinal vascular pattern. Based on this knowledge, prenatal follow‐up of pregnant women with pregestational DM may intensify, with a greater focus on the tracing and prediction of DR using several diagnostic methods such as an examination of the fundus of the eye by Doppler imaging of the orbital arteries 13,14 . The aim of this study was to evaluate ophthalmic Doppler velocimetric patterns in pregnant women with pregestational DM, with and without retinopathy, compared to pregnant women without gestational intercurrences.…”

Objectives To evaluate ophthalmic Doppler velocimetry patterns in pregnant women with pregestational diabetes mellitus with and without retinopathy in comparison to pregnant women without gestational intercurrences. Methods This cross‐sectional observational study analyzed Doppler indices of the ophthalmic arteries, including the resistive index (RI), pulsatility index, peak systolic velocity, second peak systolic velocity, peak ratio, and end‐diastolic velocity (EDV), in 3 groups of pregnant women: diabetic with retinopathy (n = 12); diabetic without retinopathy (n = 85); and nondiabetic controls (n = 122). The Kruskal‐Wallis test was used for the statistical analysis with a probability of 95%. Results The mean gestational ages ± SDs of pregnant women with and without retinopathy and nondiabetic controls were 29.1 ± 2.2, 29.7 ± 2.7, and 31 ± 1.0 weeks, respectively, with no significant differences between the groups (P > .099). The mean RI in the group with retinopathy was significantly higher (P = .030) than in the control group, but it did not significantly differ compared to the group without retinopathy (P = .204). The RI in the control group did not differ from that in the group without retinopathy (P = .079). The EDV was significantly lower in the group with retinopathy (P = .015) in relation to the control group, but there were no differences compared to the group without retinopathy (P = .217). Conclusions Pregnant women with pregestational diabetes mellitus and retinopathy had increased vascular impedance in the ophthalmic artery together with a reduction in the EDV, which was probably related to ischemia, thrombosis, and neovascularization of retinal vessels.
