title: [Ocular manifestations during hepatitis C infection].
abstract: Hepatitis C wirus is one of the major blood-born pathogens of huge epidemic value. Due to its easy transmission, lack of routinely pursued tests and long non-symptomatic period makes it crucial to be alert for all co-morbidites suggesting HCV infection. Consequently to reduce its farther transmission large knowledge of HCV should be spread as there is still no effective means of prophylaxis and its therapy is much costly. This article describes ophthalmic symptoms of hepatitis C virus infection such a mere keratoconiunctivitis sicca to ischemic retinopathy, macular edema and ischemic neuropathy.
