A 14-Year Retrospective Clinical Analysis of Ocular Manifestations of Syphilis in a Portuguese Tertiary Center
Ocular syphilis, though rare, remains a significant cause of visual morbidity. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for preventing permanent vision loss. Regular screening and increased awareness among clinicians are essential to manage this potentially sight-threatening condition effectively. Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols and improve patient outcomes.
