Review Article

The Hand and the Eye

S. L. FILAN, K. M. RUMBALL and M. A. TONKIN

From the Department of Hand Surgery, Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia

Correspondence: Dr M. A. Tonkin, Department of Hand Surgery, Royal North Shore Hospital, St Leonards NSW 2065, Australia.

A variety of systemic diseases may affect both the hand and eye, leading to profound sensory and functional deficits. The aetiology of some of the most common conditions is reviewed, with an explanation of their manifestations in the hand and eye. Recognition of the association between a hand condition and ocular pathology may aid in diagnosis of a systemic disorder or allow early detection and prevention of ocular disease and loss of vision.
