Summary:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder with various systemic and ocular clinical manifestations. In patients with SLE, central retinal vein and artery occlusion, choroidopathy, and occlusive vasculitis are among the most significant and clinically relevant ocular manifestations, although they do not commonly occur. We present a case series of three SLE patients of different races and genders who developed ocular-related clinical features of SLE during the course of their systemic disease. The clinical outcomes of each patient were different, affecting their vision in bilateral eyes, with some patients having better visual recovery while others having permanently poor vision. These outcomes were not significantly related to the patients' age, gender, or race.
