Abstract
Hematopoietic disorders span over a vast array of neoplastic and nonneoplastic conditions involving the bone marrow, erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes at various stages of differentiation. The intraocular milieu may directly be affected by hematological malignancies in a number of ways, which include metastasis, hypercoagulable states, and microvascular ischemia. In addition, patients with hematopoietic neoplasms are often immunosuppressed, so that they tend to develop opportunistic ocular infections.
