Abstract
‘The eye is the mirror of the soul’, this old saying is true for the whole body as there are several diseases affecting other organs or sometimes the whole body that can cause changes to the eyes as well; moreover, they are often detected during an ophthalmological examination. Therefore, ophthalmologists have a huge responsibility (just like doctors working in other fields of medicine) to consider the whole person when examining just one organ (the eye). In this chapter, we provide a non-exhaustive review of the most important internal conditions where ophthalmological changes are of extraordinary diagnostic and therapeutic importance, reflecting a recent change in attitude.
