Abstract
Forty patients with atopic dermatitis who had generalized skin lesions were examined ophthalmologically. Conjunctivitis was observed in 25% and refractive error in 5% of patients, but no atopic cataract was found. Eye lesions had no relationship with the severity of the skin lesions and serum IgE levels. [Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Center 1997;4(1):18-20] Key Words: Atopic dermatitis, ocular findings, IgE
